City of Charlotte Solid Waste Services will collect garbage, recycling, yard waste and bulky waste as scheduled on Monday, Oct. 13.

The city will remain open on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and there will be no delay to collection services. Be sure that carts are put at the curb no later than 6 a.m. on collection day. It will be a green recycling week.

You can find your collection day by visiting the city’s property tool, My Charlotte Lookup. Type in your address to be reminded of what day of the week you receive service and if you are an orange or green recycling week.
