RECYCLING REWARDS PROGRAM

 



 

 

 

BANNED MATERIALS

Beginning with Senate Bill 111 in 1989 and in subsequent legislation, the North Carolina General Assembly has established disposal bans on a wide range of materials.  New disposal bans will come into effect Oct. 1, 2009 on used oil filters, plastic bottles and wooden pallets.  Click on the links below to learn more about how to comply with the October disposal bans and about some of the other materials banned under North Carolina General Statute 130A-309.10(f).

Each month ten (10) names/addresses are randomly picked and checked to see if they are recycling. The first one caught recycling is awarded a fifty ($50.00) cash voucher that is credited toward their solid waste bill. At the end of each year (October- September), all the monthly winners’ names are placed into a hat, and one is drawn to receive a $500.00 cash prize awarded by Waste Industries.  New for 2008-2009 ANNUAL RECYLING REWARDS drawing, the Town of Morehead City will be awarding one (1) $200.00 and one (1) $100.00 cash prize to our  drawing in addition to the $500.00 award from Waste Industries.  So now more than ever it really does pay to RECYCLE.  Only those residents who participate in the City’s roll out cart collection service, which includes curbside recycling, shall be eligible for the “Recycling Rewards” program.
