Huntersville Grapples With Trash Collection Snow Delays

HUNTERSVILLE, NC -- Yard waste and recycling collection in Huntersville will be delayed as the town grapples with catching up with trash collection after this week’s snow storm, according to officials.

Severe weather prevented curbside collection of trash for most of the week in the Town of Huntersville as about 6 inches of snow fell across the region.

“In an effort to catch up, a decision has been made to suspend the collection of yard waste and recycling for the remainder of the week,” the town said in a notice. “The priority for the remainder of the week will be recovering household garbage.”

Here is the collection schedule for the rest of the week:

• Friday, Jan. 19: Wednesday and some Thursday household garbage customers will be serviced.
• Saturday, Jan. 20: The remaining Thursday household garbage customers and Friday household garbage customers will be serviced.
• 'A week' recycling customers missed this week, will be allowed to put out extra recycling on their next designated recycling week.
• Yard Waste will be collected next week on your designated collection day.

Tips for collection:

• You may place loose recyclables next to your cart in a cardboard box. Please do not bag your recyclables.
• We recommend breaking boxes down to fit more recyclables in your container until your next service week.
• You may place the broken down boxes next to your recycling container on your service week.
