6. Explain the electronics recycling program. Does it cost to drop off?

On July 1, 2011, the State of North Carolina banned all televisions and computer equipment from landfills. This includes: laptops, desktops, monitors, printers, scanners, fax machines, mice/keyboards and T.V.s. The City does not accept these items in the regular recycling or sanitation mix. However, these items are recyclable, along with all other electrical products with cords.

Residents may bring all of these electronic items to the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) for free disposal/recycling. Do not place these items in your recycling cart for recycling.

Hours for operations for drop off are: Monday - Thursday, 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. Please call Customer Service at 336-883-3111 for more information.
