The Town of Halifax offers free curbside pickup of certain recyclable
material in an effort to adhere to the requirement that all residents
and commercial establishments from which the town collects refuse
separate and make available for collection such recyclables (Code
adopted by Halifax Town Council 05-13-91 and amended on 03-14-06). As
an incentive and to reduce the costs of longer distance for solid waste
hauling, a plastic recycling bin to collect and store material is
provided by the town at no cost. To sign up for the program, please
call Halifax Town Hall at 434-476-2343. If you live or do business in
the Town of Halifax corporate limits, the town will pick up your
recycling in front of your home or business every Wednesday. Simply
have your recycling bin at the curb by 8:00 a.m.
Because of the closing of the South Boston landfill on December 31, the
Town of Halifax is working with the Halifax County Public Works
Department and the Halifax County Improvement Council to ensure a
smooth transition of waste disposal and hauling to the Mecklenburg
County Regional landfill prior to the completion of the Halifax County
transfer station. Customers will be notified of any changes in the
customary solid waste and recycling procedures during the 2008
transition period.
