Recycling Collection Schedule
If you would like a recycling calendar, you may download it here or request a copy to be emailed or mailed to you by emailing curbit@charlottenc.gov.
If you receive recycling collection through the city, collection is every other week, and you are either on a green or an orange week. Use My Charlotte Lookup to determine your collection information.
An asterisk * indicates an observed holiday. Review the 2026 holiday collection schedule to learn how collection is serviced those weeks.
