Waxhaw Happenings February 2020 | Seite 6

T R A S H & R E C Y C L I N G After nearly 40 years of providing waste services in the greater-Charlotte including decades of service to Waxhaw, RCS Inc. joined Waste Pro USA last summer. The Town of Waxhaw greatly appreciates the many years of dedicated service provided by RCS and has been working with Waste Pro to create a smooth transition for residents. There will be NO changes to service collections for trash, recycling and yard waste. Waxhaw weekly trash collections and bi-weekly recycling collections will continue with the same three zones under the Waste Pro contract: • Zone 1 will be serviced on Wednesdays • Zone 2 will be serviced on Thursdays • Zone 3 will be serviced on Fridays Recycling pick-up will continue with the large, 96-gallon roll-out containers (tan-same size as trash containers). These roll-out recycling carts will be picked up every other week just as they have been since February 2018. Each of the three zones have a “Week A” and “Week B” for recycling pick-up. Waste Pro is utilizing a single person truck with an arm that grabs the trash containers, lifts and dumps into the truck. Therefore, the containers should face the street as indicated on the top of the container (arrow towards the street) to facilitate dumping. When placed with the recycling container, please separate the two in order to make room for the arm to grab each container. Lastly, please place the containers away from the mailboxes and parked vehicles. For questions about trash and recycling, customers can call Public Services at 704-843-7439.
