Mecklenburg County Wipe Out Waste Day

Mecklenburg County Wipe Out Waste Day will be held Saturday, November
13, 9:00 a.m. - Noon; at all 4 Mecklenburg County Recycling Centers.
County Full-Service Recycling Centers are located at:
North Mecklenburg Recycling Center and Yard Waste
12300 N. Statesville Rd.
West Mecklenburg Recycling Center
8440 Byrum Dr.
Foxhole Recycling Center and Yard Waste
17131 Lancaster Hwy.
In the new era where protecting personal information and the
environment is equally important, there is a much better solution to
getting rid of that dangerous stuff, and on the upcoming Wipe Out
Waste (WOW) Day, residents can do it safely and for free thanks to
Mecklenburg County Solid Waste.
All four Mecklenburg County Full Service Recycling Centers will be
shredding household documents for no charge on Saturday, Nov. 13 from
9 a.m. until noon as part of a partnership with City of Charlotte
Solid Waste Services. Document destruction specialists Shred-it,
Automated Shredding Inc. and document management experts DataChambers
will be on hand -- along with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police
Department -- to ensure that your documents are disposed of safely and
securely. The first 50 residents to bring items to each recycling
center will receive special giveaways.
Those other household hazardous wastes, such as old paint, chemicals,
and batteries, will also be accepted for safe disposal. Not sure what
to bring? Visit wipeoutwaste.com or call E. Nadine Ford at
704.201.2201 for detailed information about what you can bring for
disposal.
