A reminder to residents: Grass clippings, leaves, and other yard waste should not be placed in the street or near storm drains. Yard waste should be placed behind the curb for collection.
Storm drains are designed to carry rainwater only. When yard debris enters the stormwater system, it can contribute to clogged drains, localized flooding, and water quality impacts in nearby waterways.
Thank you for helping keep Zebulon’s stormwater system clear and our community clean.

The Town of Zebulon was proud to partner with the Steel Magnolias Garden Club for this year’s annual plant sale. It was a huge success.
Despite the weather, this turned out to be the most successful plant sale they have ever had, with record-breaking sales and an incredible turnout. People came out to shop, connect, and support something that truly gives back to Zebulon.
Every dollar raised goes right back into the community, helping fund beautification projects that enhance public spaces, keep our town looking its best, and support a local scholarship.
We’re thankful for the Steel Magnolias Garden Club and their continued partnership, and for everyone who showed up and made the day so special.
