Specifically, garbage and recycling collections scheduled for Friday will take place on Saturday, July 9. Bulky waste collection routes for Thursday and Friday will be combined and completed on Friday, July 8.
Yard waste should be placed at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 5. Crews will start with Monday's route area and continue through the week to ensure all yard waste is collected by Friday, July 8.
Residents are reminded to place their garbage, recycling, bulky items, and yard waste at the curb by 6 a.m. on their designated collection day to ensure pickup. It is recommended to set out items after 5 p.m. the night before collection day. For schedule verification, residents can visit concordnc.gov/whatsmyday or use the CARTology mobile app.
