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.
