On average, more than 800 customers use the collection centers daily. Customers are charged for the garbage they throw away but there is no charge for sorted recyclable materials.
Our pay-as-you-throw program encourages people to reduce the amount of waste they generate and increase the amount of waste they recycle. The purpose of the collection centers is to provide homeowners a convenient place to drop off their household garbage and recyclables. The collection centers are located at Calvert, See Off Road, Pisgah Forest, and Woodruff Road. Our litter pick up program utilizes community service workers in a never-ending attempt to keep our roadsides clean. The office assistant keeps supplies ordered, pays the bills and answers numerous phone calls. The site attendants and scale operators help citizens put their materials in the right place and collect the necessary fees. Our mechanic maintains the machines and trucks necessary for accomplishing these tasks. The equipment operators make sure that the materials brought to the landfill are properly disposed of and that the recyclable materials are transported to the proper locations.
