Summary

In the Town of Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, § 50.30 sets up a town recycling drop-off center meant to keep the town looking clean by cutting the amount of solid waste that has to be landfilled, open to residents, businesses and visitors, plus anyone else the Board of Commissioners separately allows to use it.

(A) Purpose. The Kill Devil Hills recycling drop-off center was established to maintain an aesthetically pleasing environment through the reduction of solid waste. (B) Recycling materials/items. Residents, businesses and visitors of the town and such others that may be permitted to use this facility by separate action of the Board of Commissioners. A copy of the procedures and policies for use of the recycling center may be obtained from the Public Services Department and the Administration Department.

Full Breakdown

30(B) sets who can use it: residents, businesses and visitors of the town, along with any others the Board of Commissioners separately permits by its own action. The ordinance doesn't itemize which materials the drop-off center accepts or list mandatory sorting bins; instead it points users to the Public Services Department and the Administration Department, either of which can provide a copy of the procedures and policies that actually govern day-to-day use of the center. That structure means the operating details, hours, accepted materials and sorting categories sit outside the ordinance text in an administrative policy document rather than in the Town Code itself, so the code's role is to authorize the facility and set who may use it, while Public Services controls how it runs.

Curbside collection of recyclable materials in Kill Devil Hills is handled separately, through the town's recycling franchise ordinance in Chapter 117, which sets contractor obligations rather than resident-facing rules.

Violations & Fines

Chapter 50 doesn't set a specific penalty for misuse of the recycling drop-off center; use outside the categories the Board of Commissioners has authorized, residents, businesses, visitors and Board-permitted others, falls back on the Public Services Department's own posted procedures and policies, with any broader noncompliance handled through the town's general enforcement authority.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can visitors use the Kill Devil Hills recycling drop-off center?
Yes. § 50.30(B) opens the drop-off center to residents, businesses and visitors of the town, plus anyone else the Board of Commissioners separately permits to use it.
What can I recycle at the Kill Devil Hills drop-off center?
The ordinance itself doesn't list accepted materials; § 50.30(B) directs users to the Public Services Department or the Administration Department for a copy of the procedures and policies that actually govern use of the center.
Is curbside recycling the same program as the drop-off center?
No. The drop-off center in § 50.30 is a town-run facility for residents, businesses and visitors; curbside recyclable pickup runs through a separate recycling franchise ordinance in Chapter 117 that regulates the contractor, not a resident drop-off option.
