What do pill bottles, pizza boxes, and plastic grocery bags have in common? These items often raise questions when discussing recyclables in the City of Raleigh. Recycling can be confusing; what is considered recyclable often varies between cities based on what local materials recovery facilities will accept.

The process of getting quick disposal answers about everyday items has become easier with the Raleigh Reuse Waste Wizard.

The Waste Wizard is one of several features available on the Raleigh Reuse Web Tool and free app. Residents can look up any item in the Waste Wizard search box and get quick information on recycling, garbage, hazardous waste, and more. The Waste Wizard even provides donation drop-offs for items in good condition that can be reused like furniture, clothing, and dishware.

The Waste Wizard database contains over 400 items, but Solid Waste Services staff are constantly adding new items to meet disposal needs. Instructions for the Raleigh Reuse Web Tool Waste Wizard can be found online. The Raleigh Reuse Waste Wizard is also available on mobile devices with the free Raleigh Reuse App, available from the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Raleigh Reuse serves as a precise guide to everything waste-related in the City of Oaks—ensuring residents recycle correctly with the Waste Wizard.
