Residents of Charlotte will need not to worry about disruptions to their waste collection routines this Veterans Day. Despite the holiday closure of city offices, all residential curbside services, which include garbage, recycling, yard waste, and bulky item collection, will proceed as scheduled next Tuesday. As recorded in the Charlotte City News, the city reminds citizens to place their carts at the curb by 6 a.m. on the scheduled pickup day, and notes that it will be a green recycling collection week.
While the city takes pause to honor its veterans, the uninterrupted flow of solid waste services ensures that the observance will not impede the daily rhythms of home maintenance. This information comes via an announcement posted on the City of Charlotte's official website, which also directed residents to utilize the My Charlotte Lookup tool for confirmation of their specific service days and to determine if they are slated for orange or green recycling week pickups.
The convenience of modern technology has been harnessed for this urban routine, as the Solid Waste Services of Charlotte offers updates on collections via a simple text message system. As the city's release details, residents looking to stay informed on changes to their service due to holidays or other events can text their day of service to 73224 to receive timely updates. If one's collection day is Thursday, the resident would then text “Thursday” to this number.
