Solid Waste Services in the Community

Solid Waste Services joined forces with other City departments in a "Knock and Talk" to educate residents on the services the City of Charlotte provides to it's residents. City representatives knocked on the doors of residents to distribute literature on various City departments. Residents were also able to ask employees questions reguarding their City services.
