SANITATION DEPARTMENT: The Sanitation Division provides contractual collection of solid waste and recyclable. The City

provides semi-automated collection of yardwaste. Most items collected by the City’s contractor require some sort of preparation before

collection. The need to follow preparation requirements is important so that items placed on the street’s edge are collected promptly and

not left to become a community eyesore. Specific preparation and placement requirements for these items are listed on our Refuse

Pickup and Recyle Pickup page. Please call 252-726-6848 ext. 122 or 132 for more information.
