We’re expanding across central North Carolina. Burlington and Mebane can signup now to start recollecting in December.  Greensboro and Charlotte are coming in the Spring (or whenever we get enough pre-signups). Expansion helps more people recycle and keeps more stuff out of the landfill. ReCo needs to continue to grow to be a sustainable operation for the long run.

We have a few holiday schedule adjustments to share. If you need to reschedule, just let us know and learn more about rescheduling.

-December 25 pickups move to December 22

-December 31 pickups move to January 2

-January 1 pickups move to January 5

Transform food scraps into community impact. Memberships start at $3.15/week with convenient local drop-off locations. Schedule time with our team to discuss starting a community compost drop-off.

ReCo also helps with hard-to-recycle items that don’t pile up often or aren’t needed by every household. Add-Ons let you include #1 and #5 plastics, paper for shredding, latex paint, fluorescent tubes, printers, and Fillaree Soap Refills. Just add them to your next pickup in the Member Dashboard Shop. A small fee covers recycling costs and keeps the service accessible.

Our OneStop service combines composting and hard-to-recycle collection into a single monthly pickup—available in parts of Durham, Raleigh, Cary, Morrisville, and Chapel Hill. It’s flexible, convenient, and starts at just $21/month.

Do you live in an apartment or condominium? Whether it’s Hard-To-Recycle materials or Food Scraps, ReCo is here to help you recycle more!
