Lenoir County Landfill & US-70 Solid Waste Recycling Protocols

Lenoir County enforces strict solid waste management and recycling protocols to maximize landfill diversion across Kinston, La Grange, and Pink Hill.

1. Mandatory C&D Material Sorting

To reduce waste volume and support regional environmental sustainability:

• Clean Untreated Wood & Pallets: Chipped and processed into organic mulch or industrial biomass.
• Concrete & Masonry: Crushed into aggregate base material for North Carolina road and highway projects along US-70.
• Cardboard & Metal Scrap: 100% diverted into industrial smelting and paper recycling streams.

2. Prohibited Hazardous Items

Wet paint cans, liquid solvents, automobile batteries, propane tanks, freon appliances, and asbestos are strictly prohibited in all roll-offs under NC DEQ regulations.

3. Partnering with Apex Dumpster Rentals for Sustainable Waste Management

We provide full diversion documentation and LEED reporting for commercial and residential builds throughout Kinston, Goldsboro, and Snow Hill.
