Effective October 1, 2009,
North Carolina House Bill 1465 bans the disposal of rigid plastic bottles from NC landfills. The bill describes a rigid plastic bottle as having a "neck smaller than the body of the container and that accepts a screw top, snap cap or other closure. The prohibition on the disposal of recyclable rigid plastic containers in landfills does not apply to rigid plastic containers that are intended for use in the sale or distribution of motor oil, oil or pesticides." The majority of the plastic containers banned include plastic water, juice, and soft drink bottles.

HB 1465 also prohibits the disposal of motor vehicle oil filters and wooden pallets in landfills effective Oct. 1, 2009.
