Despite all the storms last night/ this morning, officials tell me there are no plans to restart yard waste pickup at this time. You can either hold on to all the debris or load it up and bring it to a full service recycling center @wsoctv

Also

Remember a full service center only allows you to bring 2 containers or bags of yard waste. More than that will result in a fee. All fees must currently be paid by credit card.

Self Service (unstaffed) Sites and Staffed Full Service Sites

Recycling and Material Disposal

Mecklenburg County DOES NOT collect the curbside materials. The collection at your home is the responsibility of the municipality in which you live. For residents wishing to haul their own materials, Mecklenburg County has two-types of recycling and convenience centers:

Full Service Centers accept trash and recyclables
Self Service (unstaffed) sites often located in County owned parks, accept curbside recyclables only.

To ensure a pleasant visit, please review the Acceptance Guidelines for Materials.

For commercial businesses, there are charges for construction debris, yard and tree waste, and bulky items (furniture), while the disposal of proper recyclables, bagged household trash, and cardboard is free.

All Recycling Centers Accept:

Office paper
cardboard
pizza boxes
magazines
newspapers
phonebooks
empty aerosol cans
milk and juice cartons
aluminum cans,
steel cans

Full-Service Centers are staffed and accept a wider variety of materials for recycling, including:

washers and dryers
stoves, refrigerators/freezers (emptied please)
computers, TV's
lawn mowers
car and bicycle tires
household hazardous wastes

Full-Service Centers also accept trash & waste for disposal, some fees may apply.

Visit the specific FULL-SERVICE Center page to see the specific items collected at each Center.

Items we do not accept in recycling:
