North Carolina’s Chatham County Solid Waste & Recycling department announced Sept. 29 that it is expanding its construction & demolition (C&D) recycling program to two more collection centers.

During a recent pilot program, C&D was collected for recycling at centers in Hadley and Goldston, North Carolina. Starting Oct. 1, C&D recycling will also be available at centers in Apex and Pittsboro, North Carolina.

C&D materials can only be accepted from residents who are doing the construction or demolition work themselves. Materials accepted include cabinets, carpet and padding, countertops, doors, flooring, gypsum/drywall, insulation, plumbing fixtures, shingles, siding, tile, windows and wood/lumber.

Residents may bring a maximum of one pickup truck-sized load in a 7-day period to any of the collection centers. Residents with a larger load will need to complete a form.
