Thanksgiving Trash Pick-Up Schedule Changes in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County
Hey there, Charlotte! With Thanksgiving just around the corner on November 28, it’s time to start gearing up for the festivities and all the delicious food. But before you dive into that turkey and pumpkin pie, let’s talk about something just as important: your trash and recycling collection schedule!
Delays Are Coming – Here’s What You Need to Know
According to the City of Charlotte Solid Waste Services, all trash and recycling services will be running on a one-day delay starting on Thursday. So what does that mean for you? Well, if your usual trash day is on Thursday, you’ll want to put those bins out on Friday instead!
To break it down even further, Black Friday pickups are also pushed back. So if your collection is usually on that day, get ready to have your pickup on Saturday. Yep, the holiday even affects our trash schedules!
