Recycling Collection

Recycling collection is handled by Waste Management and will be collected once a week. Recycling must be curbside by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day. Items that can be recycled include:

Metal Cans (aluminum or steel), including soft drink, beer & food cans. Rinse out cans.

#1 & #2 Plastic Containers, including soft drink, liquor bottles, milk jugs and detergent bottles.

Glass Bottles & Jars: Clear, green and brown glass is acceptable. Remove caps & lids and rinse out.

Newspapers, Magazines, Catalogs, Phone Books, Junk Mail & White Paper: When recycling these items, please separate them from other recyclables by placing them in a paper bag and stacking them beneath or beside your recycling bin.

Cardboard Boxes: Must be broken down into 2' L x 3' W x 2' H bundles.

Recycling that does not meet the above criteria will be tagged as non-compliant. If the resident makes household garbage conform, it will be collected at the next regularly scheduled pick-up.

Residents can also drop off recyclables at the North Mecklenburg Recycling Center and Yard Waste located at 12300 N. Statesville Road. Contact the Center for more information at (704) 875-1563
