The Mecklenburg County Solid Waste Department offers commercial drop-off centers to business parks and small business owners that are interested in promoting recycling in their area.
These centers are free for the public to use, and accept the same recyclable materials as the County's Residential Recycling Programs.
Companies that generate larger quantities of waste and are required to recycle paper and cardboard under the Source Separation Ordinance are not eligible for the program.
If you would like to host a business recycling center, call the Mecklenburg County Waste Reduction Office at 980-314-3866 or email us at solidwaste@mecklenburgcountync.gov.
