CHARLOTTE––They say that waste is a terrible thing to mind.
But if you’re on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte these days, you might’ve noticed new dumpsters and waste-collection trucks. A new system of bifurcated waste-disposal contracts recently went into effect.
Crown Waste and Recycling Systems, a Charlotte-based company servicing Mecklenburg and surrounding counties, is now emptying campus trash dumpsters. Republic Services is continuing to service dumpsters for cardboard, recycling and large projects and events. Republic has provided waste-hauling services to UNC-Charlotte for decades.
Also for decades, Republic Services has been a trusted partner for sustainable recycling and waste solutions. Today, it’s also well known as a leader in environmental services.
Contracts call for new or refurbished dumpsters to improve campus aesthetics. Crown Waste and Recycling delivered black dumpsters to campus to begin its work. Republic Services plans to replace its dumpsters and roll-off containers with freshly-painted equipment in the next few months. The new contracts aim to improve the performance of campus waste-management through improved data-collection efforts.
