After July 6th, in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area, you will need to "Roll to Recyle," as recylcables will no longer be collected from red bins or non-City issued containers. Using a 95-gallon, green, City-issued rollout cart will be the only way to receive curbside recycling collection after July 6th. The rolling recycling bins look just like the grey trash bins we've been using all along, except they will be green in color.
If you haven't already been using the rolling bins to recycle and have not yet had a green recyling bin delivered to your home, you can get one by calling CharMeck at 311 or 704-336-7600. And if you've been recylcing this way for a while and need a second cart, you can use the same phone number to request a second cart, which will cost $40. Your second recycling cart will have a different color lid which will easily identify it as a second cart. Collection service for two recycling carts will be provided only to homes with a primary recycling cart and an identified second recycling cart.
