LOCUST, N.C. — The City of Locust says the recycling collection dates printed on this month's utility bills are incorrect. Residents should go by the corrected dates instead.
Recycling will be collected on Friday, Nov. 6, and Friday, Nov. 20. Anyone planning to set out a bin should use those dates, not the ones shown on the bill.
The city keeps a reference calendar for trash and recycling collection that covers July 2026 through June 2027. Residents can check it to confirm pickup days for the rest of the year. The calendar is posted on the city's solid waste page at locustnc.com/solid-waste.
The city apologized for the confusion and thanked residents for their understanding. It also asked people to pass along the correction to neighbors so fewer households miss a pickup.
