Forsyth County Recycling Convenience Centers in Forsyth County, North Carolina, provide residents with convenient drop off locations for recycling and limited household waste disposal. Operated by the Forsyth County Department of Recycling and Solid Waste, these public centers help keep recyclable materials out of local landfills and make it easier for residents to properly sort and dispose of common household items. The county currently operates three locations serving the Winston Salem, Kernersville, and Pfafftown areas.
These convenience centers accept a variety of common recyclables including corrugated cardboard, chipboard such as cereal boxes, office paper, magazines, newspapers, aluminum cans, steel and tin food cans, glass bottles and jars, and plastics numbered 1, 2, and 5. Some locations also allow residents to drop off bagged household trash, while certain items like tires, electronics, and paint may require a small fee. The centers are primarily intended for Forsyth County residents and help ensure recyclable materials are properly processed rather than sent to the landfill.
