Recyclopedia helps you find information on how to correctly dispose of unwanted items and materials. Please select the item or material you want to dispose of below. We'll tell you whether it can go out with the trash, in your recycling, to a charity, or if it needs special attention.
Each community has it's own Recyclopedia section. Please type an address or move the red pin to set your location and we'll find your community - or choose your community from the list below the map.
Building material consists of debris left over from a construction, remodeling, or demolition project. This includes plywood, lumber, pipe, drywall, ductwork, shingles, concrete and bricks. In the past, this material went to the landfill. Now, there are many recycling options.
Recycling Options
Try listing your items on the Beaufort County Materials Exchange. You never know who may be able to reuse them.
To Donate Your Unneeded or Used Building Material: Please check with Habitat for Humanity prior to making a donation. This is also an excellent place to find bargain materials for your home improvement projects.
If your material is unusable & you wish to dispose of it please read section 62-30 of the Solid Waste Ordinance. Below
