What can I recycle in my curbside cart and at Self Service Recycling Centers?

  • Office paper
  • cardboard
  • pizza boxes
  • magazines
  • newspapers 
  • phonebooks
  • empty aerosol cans, 
  • milk and juice cartons, 
  • aluminum cans,
  • steel cans, 
  • tin cans
  • glass bottles
  • plastic bottles (with necks)
Never Bag Anything in Your Recycling Cart.    If you bag it the bag is pulled out at the recycling center,  and everything in that bag goes to the landfill at a cost of around 2 Million a year to Mecklenburg County Residents in NC.
