Onslow County, NC Public Conduct: Loitering Rules (2026)

Section 14-34(j) provides that "it shall be unlawful for any person to loiter, congregate, or leave any vehicle unattended at or on any county landfill, convenience site, or authorized construction and demolition landfill." This sits alongside related restrictions in the same section: entry to those facilities is limited to people disposing of authorized solid waste, and scavenging or removing items from them is separately banned under Sec. 14-34(c). The rule is site-specific rather than a general public-conduct ordinance; it exists to keep county solid waste facilities moving safely and to prevent unauthorized rummaging or unattended vehicles from blocking landfill and convenience site operations. Section 14-34(k) also disclaims county liability for damage or injury to persons or property arising from use of a landfill or convenience site, reinforcing that these are operational safety rules for a working facility rather than a broad public-order statute covering sidewalks, parks, or business districts elsewhere in the county.
