Summer Hours

In an effort to beat the heat, starting in June, Sanitation crews begin collection operations at 6:30AM. This allows employees to adjust to the summer heat and work more efficiently. Items normally placed out at the curb by 7:30AM should be placed ready for collection by 6AM throughout the summer months. 

Landfill Ban

Please note that the state of North Carolina has banned specific items from the landfill. A full list of these items is available on the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) website.
