Trash Collections & Recycling
The Town of Waxhaw is contracted with Waste Pro to provide weekly trash collection and bi-weekly recycling collection. To sign up for waste collection and recycling services, complete the Waste Collection and Recycling Services form. Waxhaw collections are divided into zones.
To see your Zone designation for weekly trash pick-up and your Week A or Week B designation noting bi-weekly recycling pick-up, please visit the following:
Starting July 1, 2023, there will be changes to the pick up schedule. Please visit the page below to view and download the updated waste and recycling calendar.

To ensure your garbage is picked up, place your carts at the curb before 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled day for pick up. Waste Pro is utilizing a single person truck with an arm that grabs the trash containers, lifts and dumps into the truck. Therefore, the containers should face the street as indicated on the top of the container (arrow towards the street) to facilitate dumping. When placed with the recycling container, please separate the two in order to make room for the arm to grab each container. Lastly, please place the containers away from the mailboxes and parked vehicles. To schedule a bulk pick up with Waste Pro, please call the Customer Call Center at (980) 296-1126.
The garbage is billed through the annual property tax bill and not on a monthly basis.
If you have any questions, please call Paula Ezzell with the Public Services Department at (704) 843-7439.
