2018 Holiday Trash Collection Schedule For Charlotte

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Residents Please Note:

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Solid Waste Services WILL NOT collect garbage, recycling, yard waste or bulky items on Monday, December 24th and Tuesday, December 25th in observance of the Christmas holiday. Yard waste and bulky item collection will be fully suspended next week.

All city/county households should place their garbage and recycling carts curbside on Wednesday, December 26th. Carts should be left curbside until items are collected. Large cardboard boxes that are to large to fit in the recycling cart should be placed next to the cart for collection.

Holiday Recycling Tips From CharMeck's Solid Waste Services:

Recycle cardboard and gift wrapping (but no foil wrapping).
Tear, don't fold, cardboard into small pieces that will fit loosely into your cart. Pieces should not exceed 18 inches x 18 inches.
Bag all garbage and place in your rollout cart.

To receive collection alerts directly on your phone, text CLTSWS to 245-87.

Nina, you are a step ahead of this -- my trash day is Tuesday also, so will be affected by the Holiday.

I have to agree with Joan Cox on this. You are a step ahead on this! Very nice. Our trash pu is usually on Monday so I don't think there will be any change for my area of Sedona. Holidays usually mean next day pu.

Good morning, Nina - am I the only one who finds it rather a coincidence that yesterday's post involved ugly holiday sweaters and today's subject? Hmm. . .I wonder.

Nina I love the days off for holidays, but it always messes up my trash pick-up days.

Even though they collect trash in Minot twice a week holidays are always a mess because the new trash containers we MUST use don't hold that much. Couple that with eliminating on collection day and the abundance of wrapping from Christmas Gifts many people have to distribute their trash over a months period to catch up Nina Hollander

Bob "RealMan" Timm our trash cans are huge and the county will deliver a second one if you always have a lot of trash. So overflow is not a big issue here... it's all about knowing when the trash pick up will happen.

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® same here, generally, Sheri... pick up is on a one day delay basis when closed for a holiday... but this year they are closed for two days, so they're just telling everyone to roll out their bins on Wednesday (which is my normal day in any event) and when they get here, they get here, which might mean not till Thursday or Friday!

Joan Cox hi Joan... well, we are just a week away from the Christmas holiday and here in Charlotte they will be closed Saturday through Tuesday, so I thought a bit of advance warning might be helpful, especially for those who get a Monday pickup.

Gabe Sanders hi Gabe... I guarantee you that come Monday night people will be posting emails all over nextdoor and their hoa websites asking why the trash hadn't been picked up. A message that can't be repeated enough.
