APPLIANCES and METAL

Approximately 1,100 tons of appliances and other metals are accepted at the
landfill each year.

Appliances are weighed on the scale at no charge, then deposited at the appropriate area.
Free disposal is only for items listed by North Carolina's white goods program. 
 
The White Goods Program established by the State requires that a disposal charge be
collected on each appliance when the item is purchased. These funds are paid to the State
and revenue from these funds cover Freon removal and disposal of the unit. Freon is removed
by a licensed person at the landfill before any white goods are loaded and hauled to a recycler. 

Other metal is charged at the fee of $36 per ton.
