Be sure to check out Raya and the Last Dragon at Dowdy Park at 3005 South Croatan Highway on Friday, April 15, 2022 at 7:30 pm. Bring the kids, a blanket, and/or some chairs and relax. 

If you plan to attend our eggs-cellent Easter egg hunt this Saturday at Dowdy Park, please be sure to park at Nags Head Elementary School. Better yet, walk or ride a bike! 

There is no change to the trash/recycling collection schedule or the bulk/brush collection yard's operating hours due to Easter. All Town administrative offices will be closed on Friday, April 15, 2022. 

Fleet Maintenance Superintendent Charlie Bliven was recently recognized by Nags Head's Board of Commissioners for 25 years of unwavering dedication to the Town. 

Without Charlie and the crew in our garage, our fussy garbage trucks wouldn’t run, the ocean rescue ATVs would fall apart due to salt and sand, and our public safety vehicles wouldn’t be ready to respond to a crisis as quickly. And that's just one aspect of his responsibilities. 

Thank you Charlie for all that you've done over the years to manage our fleet of equipment. We know there have been many late nights, early mornings, and spoiled weekends. But, despite the tough times, we also know that there have been many fine meals thanks to your cooking talents. 

Standing with Charlie are, from left, Mayor Pro Tem Mike Siers, Commissioner Renée Cahoon, Mayor Ben Cahoon, and Commissioner Kevin Brinkley. Commissioner Bob Sanders is not pictured.

April is the last month, until fall 2022, that we will be collecting bulk/brush items from the curbside of improved lots in Nags Head.

Our estuarine shoreline is critical natural infrastructure that protects homes, roads, and other important community assets that are vulnerable to flooding, storm surge, and erosion. The Town wants to be proactive in managing our estuarine shoreline; therefore, we are developing a comprehensive plan to address the management of 17 miles of estuarine shoreline.

The plan will inventory existing shorelines and document historical changes; identify shoreline best management practices that can be used for each segment of the shoreline; explore legal barriers to shoreline management; and consider the impacts of future hazards, such as sea level rise, on the estuarine system. 

As part of this project, it's important to understand community values and thoughts and how the shoreline is currently being used. Please help us with this project by sharing your thoughts and feelings about the estuarine shoreline.

Take the survey.

We have several construction projects taking place. To receive notifications when we post updates to our web site about the projects, such as the Old Nags Head Cove water main replacement, visit nagsheadnc.gov/notifyme. Scroll down to News Flash to choose which updates you would like.

Why are some recyclables more desirable by companies than others? Some materials can be turned into new products more quickly and do not require additional resources to create those products.

For instance, aluminum is perpetually recyclable. A recycled soda can will be back on the store shelf as a brand new can in around 30 days.

Corrugated cardboard boxes are made from 75% recycled material and can be transformed from recycled material to finished products in as little as 14 days.

If you don't have time to haul your recyclables to the recycling centers we have at town hall (5401 South Croatan Highway) and our public services facility (2200 Lark Avenue), subscribe to the curbside recycling collection service offered by TFC Recycling. The cost is only $9/month thanks to a $5/month subsidy from the Town.
