Front of next week looks great! Mid 70’s during the day with the evenings cooling off. I wish the weather had read the newsletter about Celebrate Fuquay-Varina Day on Saturday and shifted this schedule around! (Predictions from Accuweather, commentary is my own).

This October, celebrate the arts and humanities locally by checking out F-V’s town museums, check out the schedule of events or take a class at the Fuquay-Varina Arts Center, .

As the weather is cooling its tougher to keep that skin glowing. Never fear! Sunless Society NC is a mobile spray tanning business owned locally by two amazing Fuquay-Varina moms!

Schedule an appointment at your home, at your office, or wherever works best, to keep that glow!

As you likely know, given the growing number of signs populating every corner or sizeable length of road, this is an election year! Make sure you’re registration is up to date here. Early, in-person voting starts next week and runs Oct 15 to Oct 31 (here are early voting locations). Then, the general election takes place on November 3 (thanks to a sharp-eyed reader for catching our recent typo!). You can check your official voting location here.

Along with the usual election of office holders, there will be three ballot measures this year. Be sure to dig into them and get informed! Here is a non-partisan breakdown of each.

Follow Me to Fuquay-Varina is taking a two week break. Pick up with your favorite local concert series on Thursday, October 15 with Spare Change and, of course, a huge spread of food trucks, beer stands, and more!

As our home, we live, work, play, eat, and drive around Fuquay-Varina but how well do we know it? This is to introduce you to somewhere you’ve never been to or, perhaps, never even heard of and encourage you to get out to it!

Fuquay-Varina offers a really robust system for helping us all get rid of what we don’t want around our house!

The town runs on multiple schedules for trash and recycling days, denoted as green and blue.

Recycling is picked up every other Wednesday while trash is picked up either Monday or Friday, depending on your route (color).

You can determine what route you are on and what day to put out your trash and recycling by putting in your address here.

Starting Monday Oct 12 (through February 12), loose leaves will be picked up automatically as part of regular services. Rake them to the curb by Sunday evening and they will be picked up the same week as your recycling. The town uses a vacuum like machine to gather the leaves and pine straws up so keep them in a pile (no bags, bins, etc).

Other yard debris can be scheduled for pick-up by Monday at 5:00 pm for the coming week. You can find the request form here.

You can request pickup of additional large item trash. Most bulky trash appointments are a part of your general trash fee but note that some cost an additional fee. Find the form for each linked below:

Finally, you can always head over to the South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility (and Dump) in Apex with an other items.

If you have any other questions feel free to respond and we’ll do our best to connect you with someone who can answer them or check out the town’s Public Works website.

Check out below and let us know what else is happening!
