Curbside Bulk Item/Brush Collection Ends for the Season April 30

Be sure to get your bulk items and brush to the side of the road in front of your home by April 30. DO NOT place your materials out for collection after that date.

Please separate your items by type, and place them at least three feet apart (limbs three feet apart from a sofa, for example) and three feet from obstacles like fences and mailboxes.

We're moving through the town now removing items placed by the road. We'll keep removing the items that were placed out for collection by April 30 until the town is clean. Keep an eye on our progress at https://www.nagsheadnc.gov/420/Bulk-Trash.

Again, please do not place any items out for collection after April 30. Instead, take your items to our drop off yard at 2200 Lark Avenue. You'll need a permit to be able to use the yard. Visit the bulk trash web site for information on obtaining a permit. 

Play a Vital Role in Your Community by Volunteering for a Town Board or Committee

What is a local government if it is not made up of representatives from the community and reflective of the community's values?

Volunteer participation ensures all voices are heard within a local government. Our boards and committees perform a vital role in our community, often recommending policies and procedures that form the basis of many of the Town's decisions.

Complete an online application at NagsHeadNC.gov/BoardsandCommittees. or contact the Town Clerk's Office at 252-449-2009 or via email at Info@NagsHeadNC.gov.

You'll find many different types of plastic bottles around your home. Recently, TFC Recycling received this picture with a mix of household items. Are they recyclable?

Yes! The TFC facility in Chesapeake, VA can accept #1 and #2 plastic bottles, as long as they are properly rinsed and the pumps are removed.

Thanks for recycling right, Nags Head. 

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 $9.60/month thanks to a $5/month subsidy from the Town.
