Always plug your space heater into a wall outlet. Never plug your space heater into a power strip or extension cord.

Most power strips and extension cords are not designed to meet the power needs of a space heater. The heater requires more power than strips or extension cords are designed to handle. They will literally meltdown and start fires. When in doubt, read the safety information that came with your space heater for the manufacturer recommendations.

While the current weather forecast is for mostly rain (and maybe a little sleet) this weekend, there’s still a lot of winter left. It’s important to be prepared for severe winter storms, especially since power outages can last for many days. Outages during extreme cold can be especially dangerous. Stay safe by taking these steps:

• Close and seal windows and doors.
• Don’t use a gas stove for heat.
• Run generators outside, away from buildings.
• Have a plan for medications and medical devices.

Be winter ready.

Winter Markets Are Back! 

Join us at our Dowdy Park Winter Markets, held under the park's pavilion from 9 am – 12 pm on the following Saturdays:

• February 14
• March 14

Shop for local, seasonal goods and cozy winter treats from your favorite local vendors. Unlike our larger markets, these markets are small gatherings with food vendors only.

We can’t wait to see you at the market!

Every time you recycle an aluminum can you conserve enough energy to power a 60 watt light bulb for more than 4 hours!! This is proof that even small recycling choices can make a big impact. 

If have extra recycling needs, feel free to use the recycling containers at Nags Head's town hall, which are available 24/7/365. We have containers at our Public Services facility on Lark Avenue in the north end of town. They are available M, T, Th, F, and Sat 9 am - 3:30 pm. 

Thanks for recycling!
