For some Cleveland County residents, recycling and trash will have to go somewhere else in the coming months, at least temporarily.

Cleveland County government announced on Friday the Midpines Recycling Center, located at 615 Margrace Road in Kings Mountain, will be temporarily closed from October 6, 2025, through January 5, 2026, due to ongoing construction work. However, the county said this timeline may shift depending on weather conditions.

“Ensuring the safety of everyone who uses our facilities remains our top priority,” said Solid Waste Director, Josh Davis. “We recognize this closure may be inconvenient, but completing these repairs is necessary to provide a safe and functional site for the public.”

Residents are encouraged to use alternate centers including the Oak Grove Recycling Center, located at 1127 Oak Grove Road in Kings Mountain, and the Earl/198 Recycling Center, located at 2522 Blacksburg Road in Grover. All Cleveland County Recycling Centers are open Monday through Saturday, from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm.
