Wake to recycle pallets and monitors

To reduce waste and extend the life of its landfill, Wake County will
begin recycling used woodenpallets and old computer monitors next month.

County commissioners agreed Monday that the North Wake multi-material
drop-off facility, in North Raleigh at 9004 Deponie Drive, will accept
these items beginning Sept. 4 in a pilot recycling program.
The North Wake landfill, originally supposed to fill up within two
years, is now expected to last until 2005. A permit to build a
replacement landfill in Holly Springs is tied up in court.
Wake will charge $25 per ton to recycle pallets, with a charge of $2 for
individual pallets. The program will cost the county $64,600 a year.
To recycle monitors, businesses and commercial haulers will pay $5 per
monitor; individual residents can recycle their monitors for free. The
program will cost $199,600 annually.
