Dare County will hold its annual hazardous waste collection in Kitty Hawk Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Town Hall, 101 Veterans Memorial Drive.
Collections are also scheduled in Buxton on Friday and in Manteo at the Dare County Public Works Dept. on Saturday.
This is a great opportunity to clear your garage of old paint cans and brushes, pesticides, pool chemicals, automotive fluids, and other hazardous clutter.
The list of acceptable materials, along with the times and addresses for the Buxton and Manteo collections, is accessible here:
The three-day event is sponsored by the Dare County Public Works Dept., the N.C. Dept. of Agriculture & Consumer Services (Pesticide Division), and the N.C. Cooperative Extension at N.C. State and N.C. A&T State universities.
It is only for Dare County residents and the agricultural community.
