Yard waste is delivered by residents and the area Towns to the Landfill where it <br /> is mulched and sold to the community. <br /> The County owns and operates a Construction and Demolition(C&D) Landfill at 1514 Eubanks <br /> Road. It is located at the site of the old Orange County MSW Landfill (Landfill) which closed on <br /> July 1, 2013, and two other co-located landfills (one C&D unit and one MSW unit). C&D debris, <br /> stumps, land clearing waste, mobile homes, mattresses/box springs (currently transported to <br /> Purpose Recycling), yard waste, clean wood waste, and stockpiled tires are accepted at the <br /> landfill and on-site collection center for various fees. Old corrugated cardboard(OCC), oyster <br /> shells, electronics, residential/commercial tires, large appliances, and scrap metal are accepted <br /> from residents for free. <br /> Department staff strictly enforces the Regulated Recyclable Materials Ordinance at the C&D <br /> Landfill. Contaminated loads (loads containing both recyclable and non-recyclable C&D waste) <br /> brought to the C&D Landfill will be charged double the tipping fee of uncontaminated loads. <br /> Alternatively, the Department staff requires sorting of recyclable materials from contaminated <br /> loads upon arrival at the C&D landfill. <br /> 9 <br />
