Trash & Recycling
Trash Collection
The Recycling & Trash Services Division provides weekly curbside trash pick up for residential trash customers within the Wilmington City limits. The division is funded by monthly fees charged by the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority to City Recycling & Trash Services customers based on their chosen level of service.
Visit Wilmington Public Services for information on services included, collection times, holiday schedules, oversized item collection, and more.
Recycling Collection
Recycling is provided as part of your trash collection, at no additional charge. To sign up, call 910.341.7875. Recycling is collected on the same day as trash pickup but on a bi-weekly collection schedule.
