Town Council - Work Session — August 27, 2026
The town is redesigning and moving portions of the convenience center to comply with railroad right-of-way rules while keeping yard and food waste drop-off open.
Town Council - Work Session — April 16, 2026
Because the railroad requires the town to vacate its current right-of-way by late 2026, Cary evaluated three options for the convenience center. Council ultimately chose to fund option two ($525,000) to keep yard and food waste services on-site without disruption.
Town Council - Work Session — February 5, 2026
The town's primary public waste and recycling drop-off site on North Dixon Avenue must close by December 2026 due to a railroad expansion grant. Council members debated whether to close the site entirely, keep yard and food waste drop-off locally, or construct a new facility on Old Apex Road costing millions.
