PUBLIC WORKS
What Can I Recycle? You
can recycle the following materials by putting them in your
Waste Industries bin (if you are a Town of
Knightdale
sanitation customer) or by taking them to the convenience
center on Knightdale-Eagle Rock Road:
Print This List
and Post it Near Your Bin.
Aluminum and
Steel Cans;
Cardboard;
Cereal/Snack Boxes;
Glass Bottles and Jars;
Paper (magazines, newsprint,
office paper, junk mail); and
Plastic Bottles.
The convenience center also takes Scrap Metal.
Please remember
that yard waste stickers must be purchased at Town Hall to
receive limb/brush pickup. Call 217-2212 for
additional information.
Reminder: Waste Industries, the Town's
residential garbage and recycling contractor, asks that
citizens try to get their carts and bins out the night
before scheduled collection. This cuts down on missed
service and the "hassle" residents face to have the
containers picked up late.
ENGINEERING:
Check out the status of current Town of
Knightdale
construction projects here.
FINANCE:
The Government Finance Officer's Association has presented
the Town of Knightdale the Certificate of Excellence in
Financial Reporting for the 17th straight year.
