The Division also collects waste from the Orange County schools and bulky <br /> waste from both the Orange County schools and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City schools for a fee. <br /> These contracts with the school systems account for a portion of the revenue into the Solid Waste <br /> System. <br /> 1 .3.2 County Recyclable Material Collection Program <br /> Recycling services are currently administered within the County by Orange County Recycling <br /> (OCR), a division of the Department. In 1997, Orange County and the incorporated <br /> municipalities of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough each adopted a solid waste reduction <br /> goal of 61%per capita. The efforts of OCR have resulted in one of the top solid waste reduction <br /> rates in the state of North Carolina. <br /> 1.3.2.1 Residential <br /> Orange County's first recycling program commenced in 1987 with the construction of five <br /> unstaffed drop-off sites which accepted glass bottles, aluminum cans, and newspapers. Since that <br /> time, recycling has expanded in the County to include additional recyclable material collection at <br /> the Solid Waste and Recycling Centers and curbside collection in both urban and rural areas. <br /> 5 <br />
