Orange County was established in 1752 and has been conducting business since that time.

The County(and as the Town of Chapel Hill before it)has provided municipal recycling services in Carrboro,Chapel Hill and Hillsborough for over ten years. Prior to 1996 the Department also provided residential and commercial solid waste collection services for the Town of Chapel Hill as well. Current recycling services include curbside collections,staffed and unstaffed drop-off sites,multi-family collections,commercial glass/can recycling at various bars and restaurants,governmental building recycling,institutional/restaurant food waste recycling,and numerous other municipal services. The County is already heavily involved in successful curbside and drop-off recycling services in Hillsborough. While it is common knowledge these services have been provided,we are unsure what would constitute satisfactory evidence to the Town. We could provide copies of Departmental budgets and programmatic tonnagelmanagement reports if necessary. The 1999 Interlocal Agreement is the only contract for which the County is obligated to provide collection services and this obligation refers only to recycling collections,not waste collections,which have been left to the discretion of individual municipalities. The Interlocal Agreement does not preclude,however,the County from entering into agreement with municipalities for additional collection services.
