Uptown On-Street Recycling Program
|
|
|
|
|
In partnership with Mecklenburg County and Charlotte Center City Partners the City of Charlotte has installed 35 new recycling containers along Tryon Street to make daily recycling more convenient for Uptown pedestrians. The installation of the recycling containers was made possible through a Department of Energy block grant that was awarded last Spring.
