Belmont RecyclesAll Belmont residents can obtain a free curbside recycling bin by contacting Waste Management.

The City of Belmont contracts with Waste Management for its residential recycling program. Anyone living in the city limits can receive a free recycling bin by contacting Waste Management at 704-824-2011. You do not need to sort your recyclable items. Simply put your recyclables in the green bin and place the bin at the curb with your garbage can. It will be collected on the same day as your garbage collection.

The City of Belmont has partnered with Keep Belmont Beautiful and J.B. Page Elementary School to recycle plastic bottles and office paper at J.B. Page Elementary.

The following items can be placed in your bin to be recycled:

newspapers (with inserts) glass
(clear, green, and brown color)
aluminum, bi-metal, ferrous and steel cans HDPE (milk and detergent containers only)
PET-type plastic containers
(soda bottles only)
flattened, bundled corrugated cardboard
(less than 2' wide by 2' long by 1' deep)
mixed paper products (e.g. mail, magazines, catalogs, etc.)  

Effective October 1, 2009, the State of North Carolina will no longer allow plastic bottles to be disposed of in landfills. You will be required to recycle your plastic bottles. For more information about the list of materials that are banned from landfills, please visit the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources website.
