2024 Veterans Day Holiday Schedule

The Wake Forest Town Hall and other administrative offices will be closed Monday, Nov. 11, in observance of the Veterans Day holiday. Yard waste and loose leaf collection will also be suspended on November 11, but trash, recycling, and bulk waste collection will not be interrupted. Go Wake Forest and the Wake Forest-Raleigh Express will also follow the normal schedule.

During the week of November 11, yard waste crews will attempt to complete the normal five-day yard waste collection cycle in four days beginning with Tuesday’s route and ending with Friday’s route. So, for example, on Tuesday and Wednesday, crews will run the Monday and Tuesday routes and a portion of Wednesday’s route, then on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, finish Wednesday’s route and complete the Thursday and Friday routes.

To ensure that all neighborhoods are serviced properly, residents are urged to leave their normal yard waste and loose leaves in separate piles at the curb by 7 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12. As always, please avoid placing items on or near mailboxes, utility boxes, utility poles, or other fixed objects.

Wake Forest residents can track the progress of leaf collection crews by calling the Leaf Collection Hotline at 919-435-9582. The hotline is updated each weekday morning by 8 a.m. with information concerning where crews will be working that day. 

Town offices will reopen Tuesday, Nov. 12, at 8 a.m. To view the Town holiday schedule, visit www.wakeforestnc.gov/holiday-schedule.
