A handy-dandy guide to trash
Don't know what to do about that dry rotted spare tire? Looking to finally get rid of the washing machine that's been hanging out on your (or your neighbor's) back porch? Did you know that nail polish remover is considered hazardous waste?
All those questions and more about garbage and recyclables in Guilford County can be answered with this helpful guide, released Monday. Download .pdf file
The guide points out the recycling locations in the county, and shows where to take stuff like old batteries (Ecoflo, Inc., 2750 Patterson St.), tires (Guilford County Scrap Tire and White Goods Collection Facility, 2138 Bishop Rd.) and other stuff such as yard waste and recyclables.
It also lists contacts for garbage pickup and recycling facilities in other towns across the county.
Greensboro, High Point, Guilford County, Greensboro Beautiful and the Guilford County Department of Public Health teamed up to produce the guide with the financial backing of Volvo Trucks North America, which gets a section to discuss its interest in environmentally safe hazardous waste disposal, recycling and, of course, to plug their trucks.
