ABC Containers

North Carolina General Statutes § 18B -1006.1 require holders of certain Alcohol Beverage Commission on-premise permits to recycle beverage containers generated on-site. A statewide disposal ban also applies to these materials. ABC on-premise permit holders must submit a recycling plan as part of their annual permit renewals with the ABC Commission. Information is provided below to assist permit-holders in complying with the recycling requirements.
