Construction & demolition recycling expanding to two Chatham County collection centers

Pittsboro, NC – Chatham County Solid Waste & Recycling is expanding the construction & demolition (C&D) recycling program to two more Collection Centers. During a recent pilot program, C&D was collected for recycling at the Hadley and Goldston Collection Centers. Starting Thursday, October 1, C&D recycling will also be available at the Marthas Chapel and Pittsboro Collection Centers.

C&D materials can only be accepted from residents with a current decal who are doing the construction or demolition work themselves. Materials accepted include: cabinets, carpet and padding, countertops, doors, flooring, gypsum/drywall, insulation, plumbing fixtures, shingles, siding, tile, windows and wood/lumber. Please visit the C&D page for more details on what can and cannot be accepted along with any special instructions.

Residents may bring a maximum of one pickup truck-sized load in a seven-day period to any of the Collection Centers. Residents with a large load will need to complete a form.

The Marthas Chapel Collection Center is located at 24 Gardner Road, Apex. The Pittsboro Collection Center is located at 180 Martin Luther King Jr. Road, Pittsboro. Visit the website for hours of operations.
