Approximately 80% of the rural <br /> households use the County's SWCCs and the remaining 20% contract with private waste <br /> haulers.

These components of the <br /> residential waste stream are not included as a part of their contracted collection services. All <br /> residents, rural and urban, may also obtain permits for landfill disposal of loads of non- <br /> dumpster compatible residentially-generated wastes such a bulky wastes, furniture, white <br /> goods, yard waste, etc. Orange County pays the tipping fee for disposal of these materials. <br /> Currently, bi-weekly curbside collection of recyclables is provided to approximately <br /> 1 <br /> Office Location Highway 86 North Hillsborough <br />
