Where does your waste really go—and how does it impact our water? Electronics, appliances, and tires are banned from North Carolina landfills—but what happens to them instead?
Join our guided facility tour to learn how Guilford County recycles these items, explore the resident drop-off center, and get an insider look at stormwater systems—including a working sand filter that helps protect our waterways by treating runoff.
See sustainability in action—and how it supports a healthier watershed.
