Reedy Creek Park Self-Service Recycling Center

Mecklenburg County’s unstaffed recycling drop-off at Reedy Creek Park on Rocky River Road, for curbside recyclables.

Reedy Creek Park Self-Service Recycling Center is an unstaffed drop-off at Reedy Creek Park, 2900 Rocky River Road, Charlotte. It takes curbside recyclables only, and the county’s centers list gives no hours for it. Plastic bags and wrap, and large amounts of extra cardboard, go to a staffed or full-service center instead.

Serves: Charlotte trash pickup and drop-off rules.

What this center takes and what it does not

The bins take the curbside list: plastic containers with necks, cartons and juice boxes, empty aerosol cans, aluminum, tin and steel cans, glass bottles and jars, cereal boxes, flattened cardboard, clean pizza boxes, brown paper bags, high-grade paper, junk mail, magazines and newspapers.

Plastic bags and wrap are taken at the county’s full-service centers and the William R. Davie Staffed Recycling Center, not here. Trash, Styrofoam, shredded paper, food, yard waste and batteries are refused as well.

About this site

Davie self-service center closed in 2024 for its expansion, Reedy Creek Park was one of the drop-offs the county pointed residents to.
