The autumn Southern Shores bulk-waste collection will be Friday, Oct. 13, the Town announced in an online notice today.
Each year, the Town schedules two roadside bulk-waste collections, one in April, and the other in October.
The Town requests that residents not place approved items for pickup in the street rights-of-way until Friday, Oct. 6, and have all items on the roadside no later than Thursday, Oct. 12.
Some of the large items approved for collection are furniture, including sofas, chairs, mattresses, and dressers, etc.; exercise equipment; refrigerators, provided the Freon has been removed and the item is so marked; and yard waste or vegetative debris bagged in clear or brown paper bags.
Some of the many unapproved large items include televisions, hot tubs, water heaters, basketball goal posts, hazardous materials (such as paints, solvents, and chemicals), tires, and building materials. Windows, roofing, doors, screens, carpets, rugs, toilets, cabinets, and demolition debris are prohibited.
For a full list of disapproved items and the disposal sites where they may be taken, see https://www.southernshores-nc.gov/community/page/bulk-waste-collection-semi-annual.
Any item that is rejected by the contractor will be marked with an X.
The townside collection will take place all day on Oct. 13 and possibly go late into the evening. The Town asks residents not to call Town Hall about missed pick-up inquiries until the business day after the collection, which would be Monday, Oct. 16.
CORRECTION re PROPOSED GINGUITE CREEK CONDOS
In preparing for Part Two of our report on the Planning Board’s consideration of a special use permit application submitted by SAGA/Ginguite LLC for its proposed two-building residential-commercial development at 6195 N. Croatan Hwy., we discovered that we erred in representing the number and size of the “multifamily” dwelling units in the creekfront project. (See The Beacon, 9/19/23.)
The proposed project calls for 36 total multifamily residences, according to Sumit Gupta, Chief Executive Officer of SAGA Realty & Construction, 30 of them in the eastern residential building, which will have ground-floor parking, and six in the western residential-office-retail-restaurant building.
The 30 eastern building units will have two, three, or four bedrooms, Mr. Gupta said, and the six western building units will have three or four bedrooms.
We regret any confusion we may have caused.
We will be posting Part Two of our report later this week without the pressure of a deadline.
