June 25. Small businesses and other organizations can drop off hazardous waste for a reduced fee this Wednesday.

Federal law restricts the County’s recycling centers to residential hazardous waste, so the County hosts special collection events for schools, businesses, and other non-residential organizations. The hours are 8 am to 2 pm Wednesday, June 26. Organizations are accepted by appointment only and space is limited. Call 336-855-7925 or email [email protected].

Hazardous waste includes fluorescent light bulbs, pesticides, rechargeable batteries, paints and more.
