Dare County cancels trash collection for Monday, Dec. 18, due to upcoming storm

Due to forecasted adverse weather conditions, Dare County Public Works has announced that trash collection scheduled to take place on Monday, December 18, 2023, in Kitty Hawk, Colington, Buxton, Frisco, and Hatteras could potentially be impacted.

Public Works crews intend to make every effort to perform trash collection in these areas; however, if conditions become dangerous for drivers due to high winds and road hazards, trash collection will not occur.

Forecasted high winds have the potential to overturn trash cans, so residents whose homes are located in these areas are advised to properly secure their cans before inclement conditions begin impacting the area — or to consider postponing placing their cans at the curbside until the second scheduled pickup of the week, which will take place on Thursday, December 21, 2023
