Going Green in the Outer Banks

It seems like everyone is making some kind of effort to Go Green these days. People and businesses are doing this in many ways from changing light bulbs to starting a recycling a program. With the recent passing of Earth Day, there is no better time to consider the environment and do your part. Starting on May 1st, the town of Kill Devil Hills will be implementing a residential curbside recycling program.

The program will be run by Outer Banks Hauling and Bay Disposal. It will bear a small cost but the rewards are priceless. In order to participate in this exciting program, residents will be required to pay a small fee of $8.95 per month. The fee will go to cover the materials needed to recycle and the costs of labor/pickup services. The agreement between the town of Kill Devil Hills and Outer Banks Hauling/Bay Disposal goes into effect on May 1, 2008 and is currently approved until April 30, 2011, with an opportunity to extend the contract another 3 years.

Pickup for the new program will be once a week on Monday or Tuesday, depending on your location. This is a great opportunity to not only help the environment, but also keep your community clean. To find out more information regarding the new program, please visit the Town of Kill Devil Hills website at www.kdhnc.com or the Bay Disposal website at www.BayDisposal.com.
