Summary
In the Town of Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, § 50.19(B) leaves the day-to-day collection calendar to town administrators rather than printing it in the code: the Board of Commissioners sets and can amend the regular collection schedule, while the Town Manager sets holiday collection schedules on the Public Services Department's recommendation.
(B) Schedule. Collection scheduled for residential and commercial sites shall be as follows: (1) The Board of Commissioners shall establish, and may amend from time to time, a schedule for regular collection of refuse at all residential and commercial sites. (2) Holiday collection schedules shall be established by the Town Manager upon recommendation by the Public Services Department.
Full Breakdown
19(B)(2) then carves out holidays specifically: holiday collection schedules are established by the Town Manager, acting on the recommendation of the Public Services Department, rather than by a separate Board vote each time. That two-track structure, Board of Commissioners for the standing weekly schedule and Town Manager for holiday shifts, means the operative dates for any given holiday live in the Town Manager's administrative schedule rather than in the ordinance text itself. 19(A)(1) still applies on holiday weeks, residents' roll-out containers have to go out within two feet of the street right-of-way on whatever day the Town Manager's holiday schedule sets for that week, and still have to come back off the right-of-way once collection happens. 99.
Violations & Fines
The ordinance itself sets no fixed holiday penalty; noncompliance is enforced the same way as any other § 50.19 placement violation, through the notice and 14-day compliance process used elsewhere in Chapter 50 and the general-penalty and abatement provisions of § 10.99, since holiday shifts change only the collection date, not the placement and removal rules.
