Put something on craigslist: charlotte classifieds for jobs, apartments, personals, for sale, services, community, and events (http://www.charlotte.craigslist.org - broken link). Someone will come get em.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I was hoping to get them out of here without waiting for someone on Craigs list, people tend to be flaky with that. I'd rather load them in the truck myself and take them to the dump or a recycle center if I can find one.
Does anyone know of a recycle center I can take my many moving boxes. I am in Indian Trail. Thanks!
From the Indian Trail town site:

There is a county-operated disposal and recycling center on Wesley Chapel Stouts Road behind the Sun Valley High School. This site is open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 7am until 7pm. There is no phone service at this location. The Union County Landfill is located on the east side of Monroe at 2125 Austin Chaney Road in Wingate, NC. The telephone number is 704-233-5334.

Since you bring this up, I too have a question. I'll be moving to NC by the end of the year, is there an active recyling mindset in NC? I notice on cans & bottles, the state isn't listed as one pays back a deposit (in Maine, you pay a nickle per bottle/can & then return them to centers that give you that nickel back.).
Do you sort your rubbish (plastic, paper, etc) when you take it to the dump, or the curbside?

Yes there is a recycling mindset. Sorting is not necessary unless you take it to a recycling center yourself. In almost all areas residents are given a recycling bin where all recyclables go and then you put it out on the curb.
Most states do not offer money for bottles/cans anymore.
You can recycle just about anything in Charlotte, like houshold batteries, paint, etc, but you have to take that stuff to the recycling center.

Most people recycle here.
Also, the Charlotte Checkers (minor league hockey) and (what used to be Bellsouth) offer a free ticket for each old phone book brought in for recycling at one of their early games. They give you a voucher for an upcoming game when you bring the book in to the specified game. We akways get a few free tickets for doing that (and they dont care where the book came from, as long as it is outdated).
