North Carolina prohibits disposal of specific recyclable materials in landfills statewide under G.S. 130A-309.10, applying uniformly to all residents, businesses, and waste haulers.
G.S. 130A-309.10(f) and (m) establish a statewide landfill ban on aluminum cans, plastic bottles, oyster shells, wooden pallets, oil filters, antifreeze, used motor oil, lead-acid batteries, white goods (appliances), yard waste, scrap tires, electronics including computers and televisions, and recyclable materials separated for recycling. Local governments operate the collection and processing systems, but the ban itself is a state law and cannot be relaxed locally. ABC permit holders are also required to recycle beverage containers under G.S. 130A-309.10(m).
Knowingly disposing of banned materials in a landfill is subject to civil penalties up to $15,000 per violation under G.S. 130A-22. Waste haulers may refuse loads containing banned materials, and ABC permit holders face license sanctions for recycling failures.
