One of our most frequently asked questions is, "I have a metal pan. Is it recyclable?"

According to Recycle Across America, Americans throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour! That is a lot of plastic.

Recycling one ton of plastic bottles saves the equivalent energy usage of a two person household for a whole year.

Thank you for recycling right!

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 (2203 Lark Avenue), be sure to subscribe to the curbside recycling collection service offered by TFC Recycling. The cost is $13.35/month.
