North Charlotte Today

Due to inclement weather, the City of Charlotte Solid Waste Services suspended collection services on Wednesday, January 22. The service is set to resume on Thursday, January 23. However, yard waste service will remain suspended for the rest of the week.

The city observed Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, January 20, which led to a one-day delay in collection services. Tuesday customers were scheduled for service on Wednesday and are advised to leave their carts at the curb until collected.

Customers with regular Wednesday through Friday schedules will follow an adjusted holiday schedule:

- Wednesday customers will receive collection on Thursday, January 23.

- Thursday customers will receive collection on Friday, January 24.

- Friday customers will be serviced on Saturday, January 25.

Solid Waste Services emphasizes safety for both staff and residents and offers several tips:

"Set out items by 6 a.m.: To avoid delays, please make sure your collection items are placed at the curb no later than 6 a.m. on your collection day."

"Place carts in accessible areas: Position your garbage and recycling carts in a clear location away from snow and ice to allow our collection crews safe access."

"Clear snow and ice from pathways: To assist our crews, please shovel and de-ice your driveway and the area around your carts. This will make it easier for our teams to reach and collect your waste."

"Use alternative collection locations if needed: If your regular collection spot becomes inaccessible due to snow and ice buildup, please move your carts to a more accessible location, such as the end of your driveway or a clear street area."

"Monitor weather and collection updates: Snowstorms may cause delays or changes to collection schedules. Please stay updated by checking local weather forecasts and city notifications for schedule adjustments."

"Stay safe: When placing or removing your carts at the curb, please exercise caution to avoid slips or injuries."
