Guilford County does not mandate residential recycling in unincorporated areas and provides no curbside recycling there; it is a voluntary, hire-a-hauler or drop-off arrangement. NC bans certain items (like scrap tires and white goods) from landfills, which the county enforces through its disposal facilities.
There is no county curbside recycling program or recycling mandate for unincorporated Guilford County residents. Recycling is available by subscribing with a licensed private hauler that offers it, or by using drop-off/convenience options. North Carolina landfill bans (scrap tires, white goods/appliances, and other items) mean those materials must be recycled or taken to designated facilities rather than trashed. Guilford County's free Scrap Tire & White Goods facility exists to keep those banned items out of landfills. Cities such as Greensboro and High Point run their own curbside recycling for residents inside city limits. Check the county's Interactive Waste Disposal Guide for what goes where.
No penalty for not recycling. Disposing landfill-banned items (tires, appliances) improperly, or dumping recyclables, is a Ch. 15.5 nuisance with fines from $150 to $3,000.
