Living in Cary, NC
Cary is a large town in western Wake County, with smaller portions reaching into Chatham and Durham counties. It had 174,721 residents at the 2020 census, making it the seventh largest municipality in North Carolina. Raleigh lies to the east, Research Triangle Park to the north and Apex to the south, and I-40, US-1/64 and NC-540 make it easy to reach most of the Triangle.
Much of Cary is made up of planned neighborhoods built around greenways, lakes and golf courses. Established communities like MacGregor Downs, Lochmere, Kildaire Farms and Preston sit alongside newer areas such as Amberly and Carpenter Village on the west side. Downtown is anchored by the seven acre Downtown Cary Park and the older streets around it. Housing ranges from golf course homes and townhomes to apartments near shopping centers and major roads.
The Town of Cary bills residents for water, sewer and garbage on one monthly statement, and new residential accounts are opened through an online application. Garbage and yard waste are collected weekly, with recycling every other week. Students attend the Wake County Public School System, and Wake County runs the Cary Regional and West Regional libraries. Koka Booth Amphitheatre hosts outdoor concerts beside Symphony Lake.

What should I tell you about my Cary townhome or apartment?
Share the floor level, stairs, available elevators, loading location, and any property management instructions.
Can Cary town events affect my moving truck?
They can. Under the Town code, the police chief may set temporary no-parking, tow-away zones and close streets for events, and the code names Lazy Daze, Spring Daze, Cary Band Day, the July 4th celebration at Regency Park and the SAS Championship Golf Tournament. Check event dates before you pick a move day, and ask us to schedule around them.
How do I stop Cary water service when I move out?
Call 311 or 919-469-4000. The Town’s page does not state a lead time or required documents, so ask when you call and give them your move-out date once you have booked.
How far ahead should I book a Cary move?
We recommend 2 to 4 weeks ahead, especially in summer and on weekends. Same-day scheduling is available every business day until 11 AM when our schedule allows.
What does trash service cost in Cary, and when is recycling picked up?
Cary charges a sanitation fee of $26 per month on the town utility bill. Garbage and yard waste are collected weekly at the curb, and recycling is picked up every other week on the same day. You can find your collection day by searching your address on the town website or in the Cary Collects app, which helps when you are timing your first trash night.
Can Cary pick up the old couch I am not moving?
Yes, by appointment. Request bulky item pickup online or by calling 311. The fee is $15 for the first item and $8 for each additional item collected on the same trip.
