Cabarrus County Solid Waste Management Plan 20'12- <br />2022 <br />Intended Actions: <br />There are no intended actions for scrap tire management. <br />6. j. 2. White Goods <br />Current: <br />White goods are collected at drop -off by the public at the HHW facility and at the Landfill <br />locations during all open hours. White goods delivered to the Landfill are consolidated at the <br />HHW facility for pick up by contracted vendor; currently State Line Scrap Metal. State Line <br />personnel provide refrigerant removal and recycling service on these items. <br />All of Cabarrus County's municipalities offer white goods collection either directly or through <br />their contracted hauler. Three provide this service on a by- request basis while the City of <br />Kannapolis offers this service weekly. <br />In October, 2011, the Town of Harrisburg began their own white goods and scrap metal <br />management. Metals are sold to Foils, Inc. in Concord and they are responsible for Refrigerant <br />removal. <br />During FY 2011, Cabarrus County was able to recover 215 tons of white goods and scrap metal <br />that were brought to its multi - material recycling facilities by the jurisdictions, their contract <br />haulers, and others. This is almost a 50% reduction from the last Update where in FY 2008 512 <br />were collected. The economy that has driven people to steal air conditioning condensers and <br />strip wiring from homes is in large part responsible for this decrease. The trend is for this <br />volume to continue to decrease as more individuals and scavengers market metal directly. <br />Intended Actions: <br />Cabarrus County <br />Evaluate adding value to diminishing volumes by sorting more valuable alloys <br />Harrisburg <br />• Continue to market on their own <br />6. j. 3.
