Waste reduction activities, such as recycling, help to save energy, reduce pollution, generate jobs, and conserve landfill space. The city’s goal is to increase recycling by diverting recyclable items from the landfill. Solid Waste Management hosts citywide events such as e-waste collections and paper shredding, and education sessions at PAC meetings and in Durham County Public Schools.
The city collects recycling on alternating weeks. In Durham, it's easy to recycle. Place all acceptable recycling items in 1 container, no need for sorting. The
Waste Disposal and Recycling Center 2115 East Club Boulevard, accepts several items that cannot be placed in the recycling cart for curbside collection.
