Durham County Recycles Recycling collection for unincorporated residents, four convenience sites, and litter control.

Durham County Recycles is part of Durham County's Department of General Services Solid Waste Division. We provide roadside recycling collection for unincorporated residents and operate four convenience sites for RESIDENTIAL waste disposal and recycling. We also enforce litter regulations and offer education and outreach assistance to schools, community groups, and other business that would like to set up a waste reduction program.
