What it takes
It’s the only place in Durham County that takes tires, appliances, and electronics. The Northern Durham Convenience Site and the Parkwood Convenience Site take mattresses. The Household Hazardous Waste Center takes some paint and household hazardous waste.
Each item has its own rules. Check before you go.
