Annual America Recycles Day
A free and convenient way to dispose of confidential documents, electronics, prescription medications and household hazardous waste (paint, auto fluids, pesticides, CFL bulbs, and more). This event has been held annually in Rocky Mount, NC. We will post where and when the event will be held each year on our Solid Waste homepage when the information is available.
Disposal of Old or Unused Medications
Medicine take-back options are the best ways to safely dispose of unused or expired prescription and nonprescription (for example, over-the-counter) medicines. Some facilities and businesses are registered with the DEA to collect your unused or expired medicines. These drug take-back locations safely and securely gather and dispose of your unused or expired medicines including those that contain controlled substances.
