Park Road Park Self-Service Recycling Center

Mecklenburg County’s unstaffed recycling drop-off in Park Road Park, which the city lists on Closeburn Road.

Park Road Park Self-Service Recycling Center is an unstaffed drop-off for curbside recyclables in Park Road Park, Charlotte. The county’s centers list gives no hours for it. The county lists it at the park’s address, 6220 Park Road; the City of Charlotte lists the drop-off at 5300 Closeburn Road, a street inside the park.

Serves: Charlotte trash pickup and drop-off rules.

What this center takes and what it does not

Only what goes in Charlotte’s recycling cart: plastic containers with necks, cartons and juice boxes, empty aerosol cans, metal cans, glass bottles and jars, cereal boxes, flattened cardboard, clean pizza boxes, brown paper bags, high-grade paper, junk mail, magazines and newspapers.

Shredded paper is not taken here; it goes to a county full-service center or the William R. Davie Staffed Recycling Center. Trash, plastic bags and film, Styrofoam, food, yard waste and batteries are not taken either.

About this site

The bins are inside Park Road Park. Drivers may find the two addresses useful: the county’s 6220 Park Road is the park’s address, while the city’s 5300 Closeburn Road names the street in the park where it places the drop-off. When the William R. Davie self-service center closed for expansion in 2024, the county named Park Road Park as one of the drop-offs that stayed open.
