I know we have great recycling centers around town (great map here):
Mecklenburg County Recycling Center Locator

Do they take "regular trash" too? If not, is there a dump where I can bring my normal trash?

We have a baby shower at our house on Saturday and our trash bins are already over flowing.

Thanks!

Where are you located? The dump off of Plott rd do take household trash. Infact we have used it for years.

I may get slapped for giving this answer but when I miss the trash pickup and have particularly smelly trash I take it to the park and throw it in the dumpster there.

Our trash pick was today, and they came by around 10am. I was pretty surprised, as I expected them to do the areas of the city that they missed first. I'm happy that they picked up, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me, either. Frank, if I lived near you I'd be happy to let you use my empty can.

That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a thanksgiving
dinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and didn't get up until the
next morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obie. He said, "Kid,
we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of
garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any information about it." And
I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelope
under that garbage."

I talked to someone from Meck. County Solid Waste Services, he told me any "full service" station will accept regular trash. There are 4 of them around and they are listed here:

Foxhole is best for you (you're near me). Go out Johnston, and it's right before the state line/Walmart.
