The staff and management of Solid Waste Services know that quality, efficient and cost-effective solid waste services are essential to the health and sanitation of Charlotte's neighborhoods.  For that reason, we view ourselves as an integral part of the neighborhood and are excited about having new neighbors - YOU! 

We have developed this page as an informational resource for you.  This page will provide you with the information you need to make the transition from private solid waste collection services to City collection services.
