Planning your move in Wake County.
Wake County water accounts are not run by one provider, so a move across town lines can mean closing one account and opening another with a different utility. Check which office serves your new address before you book a move-in date.

Who do I call to open water service in each Wake County town?
Raleigh Customer Service, 919-996-3245, covers Raleigh, Garner, Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon and Wake Forest. Cary is 311 or 919-469-4000, and Morrisville water and sewer is 919-469-4050.

Can I use a rental truck or trailer at a county convenience center?
Residents bringing waste in a box truck, dual-axle trailer or enclosed trailer must request a free Trash Pass before arriving. Cars, SUVs, pickups and single-axle trailers do not need one. Out-of-state plates and commercial vehicles must complete a waste verification form and may be refused if they will not. Questions go to Wake County at 919-856-7400.
I am moving between Wake County towns. Whose bulky pickup rules apply?
The rules at the address where the items are collected. Raleigh charges $35 per bulky load and requires you to schedule it. Wake Forest gives two free appointment collections a year, then $50. Fuquay-Varina requests are due by 5 p.m. Friday for Monday pickup. Morrisville collects bulk items twice a year only. Knightdale’s pickup is suspended, and Wendell does not pick up bulky items. Tell us both addresses when you book and we will plan the crew around them.
How much does a local move in Wake County cost?
Local moves are billed by the hour by crew size: $95 for a 1 man crew, $150 for 2, $175 for 3 and $200 for 4. Most local moves run $190 to $2,500. Final price depends on home size, distance and services.
