A reminder: contractors for the N.C. Department of Transportation are completing a resurfacing project on South Croatan Highway between East Gray Eagle Street and the Melvin Daniels Bridge. 

Single lane closures will be in place where the resurfacing work is occurring.

All work is expected to be complete in by the end of November, weather permitting. 

→ Motorists are advised to use caution, follow all posted signs and signals, and adhere to detour routes. ←
Recycle your cans.

Peas, corn, beans, tomatoes - many of these foods come in aluminum cans.

If you have items on your Thanksgiving shopping list that come in an aluminum can, don't forget to rinse them out and recycle them. Aluminum is perpetually recyclable, so it's best not to throw them away in your waste bin.

For a reference guide on what can and cannot go into our recycling containers, click here. 

Thanks for recycling right!

Have items to recycle? 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), be sure to subscribe to the curbside recycling collection service offered by TFC Recycling. The cost is only $13.35/month.
