Each year the Moore Recycling Center, an NCDAC Correction Enterprises operation in Carthage, recycles more than 300,000 pounds of aluminum waste. Much of the aluminum waste is collected from North Carolina’s roadways, but it also includes old or damaged NC road signs, which are either cleaned and reused, or recycled into other materials. In addition to road signs, the center also shreds and recycles more than 250,000 pounds of outdated license plate tags, every year.
