Fuquay-Varina uses multiple yard-waste vendors. Apex says it can’t secure a long-term grass processor
I’m the News & Observer reporter who wrote this story.
Apex is considering ending curbside grass-clipping collection because officials say they can’t find a nearby processor willing to take its volume over the long term.
I compared Apex with Cary, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina and Morrisville. Fuquay-Varina handles yard waste very differently: service is available by request, grass clippings go in rigid containers, and the town uses three vendors rather than relying on one long-term disposal contract.
Fuquay-Varina collected 2,480 tons of yard waste last fiscal year.

For Fuquay residents: how well does the current yard-waste system work for you?
