Global Recycling Day (3/18/26)

Did you know that recycling is one of the easiest and most effective ways that we can take care of our planet? Let's work together to help protect the environment of Statesville.

Statesville offers a curbside recycling program. Please keep these in mind:

🔹 Place your recycling cart as close to the curb as possible with the lid opening toward the street (handle and wheels towards the house).

🔹Keep at least 3 feet away (on both sides) from other carts and obstacles such as parked cars, mailboxes, trees, street signs, etc.

🔹Place carts on the curb by 6am on the day of collection.

🔹Remove carts from the curb within 24 hours of pickup.
