As the Christmas and New Year’s holidays approach, Charlotte and Mecklenburg County residents should expect changes to their regular trash and recycling pickup schedules in the coming weeks.

Here’s what you need to know.

Charlotte trash pickup holiday schedule

▪ Charlotte: During the week of Christmas, all trash and recycling collection services will operate on a one-day delay beginning on Christmas Day according to City of Charlotte Solid Waste Services. This means, for example, collections days scheduled on Friday, Dec. 26 will receive service the following day.

Trash pickup will not be interrupted during the week of New Year’s (Dec. 29-Jan. 2).

▪ Mecklenburg County solid waste centers will be close at 1 p.m. on Dec. 24 and remain closed until Dec. 26. They will also be closed on New Year’s Day.

Hazardous and flammable items such as batteries, gas containers and chemicals, should not be placed in garbage and recycling carts, the city says. Instead of throwing hazardous items in the trash, take them to one of the county’s full-service centers.

More information is available on the City of Charlotte Solid Waste Services website, charlottenc.gov. For questions, call the city at 704-336-7600.
