North Carolina bans plastic bottles from state landfills
Sept. 30 -- A North Carolina law goes into effect Oct. 1 banning plastic bottles from state landfills.
The law also dictates oil filters and wooden pallets must be kept out of landfills.
The state already bans materials such as scrap rubber and aluminum cans from the solid waste stream.
The law aims to encourage recycling and provide for the growing state recycling industry, North Carolina officials have said. Fines, while authorized, are unlikely, officials said.
According to the state Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance, more than 14,000 people are employed in the recycling industry in North Carolina.
