Is recycling required by law in Winston Salem?

No, it is a voluntary program. But a new state law, effective on Oct. 1, 2009, makes it illegal to dispose of plastic bottles in the trash; they must be recycled. Aluminum cans are also banned from the landfill from a prior law. See our Banned from the Landfill page for more information.
