Recycling in Belmont: A Local Guide
Belmont is a city in Gaston County, North Carolina, located on the Catawba River just southwest of Charlotte. Two recycling facilities are listed here, though they serve very different audiences: one is a free public convenience site run by Gaston County, and the other is an industrial-only B2B rubber recycler that does not accept public drop-offs.
The Gaston County New Hope Recycling Center — the public facility most Belmont residents will use — has relocated from its former address at 235 Lake Wylie Road (permanently closed July 3, 2025) to a new, larger site at 5021 S. New Hope Road, Belmont, NC 28012, which opened November 2, 2026 (phone: 980-677-2573). The new site accepts aluminum, glass bottles, flattened cardboard, plastic bottles and jugs, plastic film, steel cans, mixed paper, books, scrap metal, appliances, tires (up to 5/day, free if off rim; 1 GarbCard if on rim), used motor oil, antifreeze, yard debris, batteries, and electronics. Dropping off recyclables is free; a prepaid GarbCard (not cash, available from local vendors) is required for fee-based items such as TVs, monitors, and tires on rim.
Carolina Recycle Partners LLC, at 101 Plum St, is North America's largest recycler of unvulcanized (uncured) rubber, processing over 120 million pounds of industrial scrap annually for tire plants and rubber manufacturers. This facility explicitly does not serve the general public — no residential or public drop-offs of any kind are accepted. Tire plants, rubber compounders, and related industrial clients should contact CRP at (704) 461-1987 or carolinarecycle.com.
