Please use the recycling drop-off sites for recycling or save cans, bottles, newspapers and magazines until your next scheduled curbside collection day. The hearing was scheduled to take place on Thursday, Sept. 16 and was postponed because of hurricane Floyd. The purpose of the hearing is to receive comment on two potential landfill sites. One site is located on Eubanks Rd., just north of Chapel Hill, adjacent to the current landfill. Another site is located on Guess Road about a mile from the Durham County line and about 20 miles from Chapel Hill.
Comments are welcome from anyone who has an interest in either site.
Comments are also welcome from anyone who uses the current construction waste facility at Orange Regional Landfill and would like to have a facility in Orange County next year when the current site reaches capacity. Please call 968-2885 for more information. The shelters will be located at C.W. Stanford Middle School in Hillsborough and Chapel Hill High School. Orange County EMS is encouraging residents who live in mobile homes or in flood prone areas, to move to structures that are more substantial. It is recommended that you spend the night with family or friends or go to one of the shelters.
