Hazardous waste

The landfill page says household hazardous waste can be taken to City of High Point HHW events at 1401 E. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive, High Point, NC 27260, which it describes as held every quarter, or to EcoFlo at 2750 Patterson Street, Greensboro, NC 27407. The city's "Where do I take..." page instead describes those High Point events as two events per year, in May and November, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with no year-round drop-off. Neither official page listed a remaining 2026 or 2027 event date when this page was checked. Confirm the next date on the official city pages before you go.
