2021 Holiday Collection Schedule
Solid Waste Services is operating on a regular schedule this week. Solid Waste will collect trash, recycling, yard waste and bulk items on Friday, December 24. Solid Waste Services will also operate on a normal schedule the week of December 27 and will collect trash, recycling, yard waste and bulk items on Friday, December 31.
How to prepare for collection :
- Bag all garbage before putting it into the garbage cart. Loose garbage should not be placed into a garbage cart.
- Rollout cart lids must be closed completely to ensure proper trash collection. This will reduce the chance of items falling out of the cart onto the ground.
- Yard waste in plastic bags is not accepted. Yard waste should be prepared in paper bags or resuable containers
- Separate yard waste from other curbside trash and recyclables. . Each type of collection item should be placed separately at the curb.
- Cardboard should be cut/torn into small pieces — not folded — and placed loosely in the recycling cart for collection.
- Do not place plastic bags in the recycling cart. Plastic bags damage recycling machinery and slow item processing. Acceptable recyclable items should be placed loosely in the cart.
- Do not park on the street on your collection day. On-street parking increases the risk of damage to personal property and can prevent collection.
- Schedule a bulk item collection if you are discarding larger-than-normal items such as furniture, large appliances or plumbing fixtures.
- Bulk item waste collection is provided the same day as other collection services but must be scheduled. You can schedule bulk item collection online, through the CLT+ mobile app or by calling 311 or 704.336.7600. Be prepared to provide your name, address and a description of the items you are discarding.
- Solid Waste Services only collects bulk items placed at the curb in front of the home.
- Empty all appliances, remove any doors on appliances, and place tape in the shape of an “x” on TV screens and any glass. This reduces risk of injury to Solid Waste Services crew members.
