MLK Day delayed trash pickup in Charlotte. Here’s when yours will be collected
The City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County delayed trash services due to the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, but residents can expect to have their bins picked up soon.
▪ Charlotte: During the week of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, all trash and recycling collection services will operate on a one-day delay starting Monday according to City of Charlotte Solid Waste Services. This means, for example, collections days scheduled on Monday, Jan. 15 will receive service the following day.
▪ Mecklenburg County solid waste centers will reopen on Jan. 16.
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.
Mecklenburg County towns, including Cornelius, Davidson, Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville and Huntersville, will operate on normal trash pickup schedules this week.
