30/06/05 North Carolina To Ban Pallets From Landfills
North Carolina is poised to make it illegal to throw wooden pallets into
landfills, along with other items such as oil filters, plastic containers and
oyster shells. If these proposals making their way through the General Assembly
become law, such bans could result in longer life spans for landfills, more
business for North Carolina companies engaged in recycling, predicted a local
newspaper. In jurisdictions where pallet landfill is banned, customers may
be more willing to pay for pallet removal, or more interested in requesting
pallets of standard sizes that are of interest to pallet recyclers.
