Does North Carolina State law say it is illegal to place anything on my windshield?
yes, but only if it obstructs the line of vision. The solid waste decal will not interfere if placed in the lower left corner of the windshield.

Solid Waste Decals
Show All Answers
1.
Why are solid waste decals so important?
Iredell County taxpayers who own a house or apartment pay a yearly household assessment to help finance the landfill and convenience sites. The decal allows site attendants to easily identify county residents. State law does not allow waste from any source other than within the county to be placed in the county landfill. Remember allowing users from elsewhere means our residents are paying the bill for illegal users.
2.
How much is the household assessment?
Only $52 per household. That works out to only $1 per week or about what you pay for 1 soda or a bottle of water at a convenience store - that’s a great bargain. If we can’t reserve the program for only those eligible, fees will have to increase for our taxpayers.
3.
Why can’t I just hold up my decal as I drive by or lay it on my dash?
County Ordinance states it must be affixed to the vehicle, if properly displayed it does not cause delays while the attendant looks or asks for it. It is possible that people living close to county borders could pass the decals to friends, relatives and neighbors who are ineligible thus placing additional burdens on Iredell County taxpayers if it is not fixed.

yes, but only if it obstructs the line of vision. The solid waste decal will not interfere if placed in the lower left corner of the windshield.
5.
What if I don’t want the glue making a mess on my windshield?
The glue does not leave residue. In fact the decals are easily removed if you bend 1 corner upwards before applying.
6.
What do i do if I own several vehicles and want one for each vehicle?
No problem, we will give you a decal for each separate vehicle you bring here. We only ask for proof of registration and that the specific vehicle is present and the decal is affixed to the vehicle at the time of receipt.
7.
What happens if I refuse to put it on no matter what you say?
This is your choice; however you will be issued a citation from the Solid Waste Enforcement Officer which will cost $50 to resolve. Continued violations may result in the loss of privileges to use Solid Waste Facilities pursuant to the departments Disruptive Behavior Policy.
