<br />Collection of Recyclable Materials <br /> <br />Recycling liaisons and the program coordinator shall ensure that all employees have access to containers <br />for recycling (at a minimum) aluminum cans, plastic bottles, glass containers, steel containers, office <br />paper, and corrugated cardboard. Where possible employees will also have access to containers for <br />recycling newspapers, magazines, and catalogs. All employees shall separate identified recyclable <br />materials generated in the course of agency operations and place them in the appropriate recycling <br />containers. The provisions of this section shall not apply in those situations where the agency head <br />makes a written determination that their implementation is not feasible. <br /> <br />Agencies that routinely host the general public, such as parks and recreation areas, the senior center, the <br />public libraries, and the Arena & Events Center, etc., shall implement programs (with the assistance of <br />the program coordinator) for the collection and recycling of appropriate materials discarded by the public <br />at all such locations (e.g., aluminum, glass, and plastic beverage containers} when feasible and <br />practicable. Agencies shall work closely with the appropriate local government agencies when developing <br />and implementing these recycling programs. <br /> <br />Corrugated Cardboard <br /> <br />Corrugated cardboard will be collected regularly on a scheduled day. Agencies are to 'breakdown' <br />empty cardboard boxes and store them in their offices until the scheduled pick up day to comply with fire <br />codes. All packaging and literature should be properly managed pdor to breaking down the boxes. <br /> <br />File Purging <br /> <br />The periodic purging of non-shredded files can overburden the recycling program. For this reason an <br />agency planning to purge files must make arrangements through their liaison to ensure the additional <br />supply of paper can be collected without limiting any other agency's ability to recycle their paper waste. <br /> <br />E-Waste <br /> <br />Computers and peripherals (printers, scanners, fax machines, copiers, etc.) that are no longer needed in <br />any agency should be sent to the agency's IT or ISU department for salvage of parts. The IT/ ISU <br />department will then make the determination if the materials are useable or ready for recycling. <br /> <br />All other electronic materials such as stereos, calculators, cameras, TVs, VCRs, DVD players, etc. are to <br />be determined usable or ready for recycling by the department in possession of the ma~erial. <br /> <br />Costs for recycling small quant'ties of electronic wastes can be absorbed by the Solid Waste Department; <br />costs for larger quantities may need to be billed directly to the agency generating the wastes. <br /> <br />Materials that are determined to be still usable but not by Cabarrus County agencies will be offered to <br />area schools and pre-approved 501 (c) 3 organizations. <br /> <br />Fluorescent bulbs <br /> <br />Spent fluorescent bulbs from a non-household cannot be land filled in North Carolina. The low mercury <br />bulbs in small quantities may possibly be land filled providing the generator of the spent bulbs can provide <br />documentation that the bulbs have passed the Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP).
