Announcing the Grand Marshal for the 2024 Locust Christmas Parade
The City of Locust is proud to announce that the Grand Marshal for the 2024 Christmas Parade will be Councilmember Harry Fletcher, who is retiring after more than 20 years of dedicated service on the Locust City Council. Mr. Fletcher’s contributions to our community are countless, and it is only fitting that he be honored with this role as he steps into retirement.
Over the years, Mr. Fletcher has been a champion for the growth and betterment of Locust and Stanly County. He played an integral role in the foundation of the West Stanly Senior Center and was a steadfast advocate for the construction of a new senior center to better serve our community. Additionally, he was a key figure in the responsible and efficient implementation of the ABC store in Locust, contributing to the city’s success.
Beyond his work on the City Council, Mr. Fletcher served our country with pride in the United States Air Force. His unwavering commitment to service and community has left a lasting impact on Locust, and we are proud to recognize his efforts.
Mr. Fletcher will be joined by Mayor Steve Huber and Levi Farmer, a young, passionate Locust resident who continues to express interest in local government by attending City Council meetings with his family.
Join us in celebrating Mr. Fletcher’s distinguished career and dedication to our community as he leads the 2024 Locust Christmas Parade! We look forward to seeing you there!

Trash/Recycling Schedule
This calendar is updated with changes, as we are notified by Waste Pro. Typically, if a state recognized holiday is during the week, we expect a one-day delay.
Recycle Right! Do not bag recyclables.
Keep recycled items loose when placing them in your recycle cart or bin. Plastic bags are tanglers that get stuck in sorting machines and are dangerous to recycling workers.

Rocky River Bridge Construction
Update 3/13/2024: The Bridge will re-open on Monday, March 18th, 2024. Only one lane each direction will be open. This is due to an additional project NCDOT will complete on 24/27 at Pine Bluff and Reed Mine Road. For real-time travel information, visit DriveNC.gov or follow NCDOT on social media
Update 11/23/2022: Starting on Wednesday, November 30, 2022, traffic will be shifted from the existing eastbound bridge to a two-lane, two-way pattern on the existing westbound bridge. This will allow crews to safely demolish and build a new bridge for eastbound drivers. Travel lanes will be narrowed, so wide loads greater than 12 feet wide will need to use alternate routes. This pattern will remain in place through June 2024.
Important Notes: This is an NCDOT project. This is NOT a City of Locust project. We are only informing you of NCDOT’s plan. The eastbound bridge was built in 1923 and rebuilt in 1957. The new bridge must be open to traffic by mid-July 2024.
