A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Convenience centers and the windshield access permit
Accepted with preparation
Currituck County runs eight manned convenience centers for residential solid waste and recycling only, and a resident has to display a Currituck County Access Permit on the vehicle windshield to use one. The centers carry the everyday streams, from bagged garbage in the compactor to bulky waste, white goods, yard waste, electronics and personal vehicle tires.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The county publishes no separate charge for the residential streams its convenience centers accept. The permit itself is applied for through the county's online access permit page, and a replacement permit for a lost one costs 75 dollars, with no more than two replacements in the two year period and damaged permits returned to the County Manager's office for replacement at no fee.
When & how
The centers are open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with Moyock and Grandy opening at 1 p.m. on Tuesdays, and on Sundays from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., with Moyock, Grandy and Carova Beach open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays, the Carova Beach arrangement running from the weekend before Memorial Day through the weekend after Labor Day.
Get it ready
Put the access permit on the windshield before arriving, put bagged household garbage in the compactor rather than the recycling area, empty and rinse recyclable containers and keep them loose rather than bagged, and keep commercial or contractor material out of the centers entirely because the county sends it to the transfer station. The centers close on New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, and close at 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
The centers take aluminum and steel cans, plastic containers, cardboard, magazines, telephone books, soft and hard cover books, newspaper, junk mail, greeting and post cards and food and beverage cartons, with bagged household garbage going in the compactor instead.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No separate charge for the residential recycling and household garbage the county accepts at its convenience centers.
When & how
Drop the material at a convenience center during its posted hours, with the access permit on the windshield.
Get it ready
Empty and rinse containers, empty boxes of styrofoam and packing material, flatten cardboard and never bag recyclables. Keep aerosol cans, ceramic items, clothing and textiles, diapers, disposable cups, electronics, foil, food tainted items and food waste, glass, medical waste, pizza boxes, plastic bags and wrap, scrap metal, scrap wood, shredded paper, styrofoam and peanuts, cords and hoses, toys, tires and yard clippings out of the recycling area, and check with the attendant for batteries and light bulbs.
The convenience centers accept bulky waste, which the county lists as large household items, carpet, foam backing, large plastic toys, mattresses and box springs, and a bulky waste load taken to the transfer station instead is priced by the ton under the same schedule as residential waste.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The county publishes no separate charge for the bulky waste its convenience centers accept. A bulky waste load taken to the transfer station is charged by the ton instead, at $105 a ton inside the county with the first 500 pounds free for a Currituck County property owner when the waste was generated in the county.
When & how
Take the items to a convenience center during its posted hours with the access permit on the windshield, or to the transfer station at 216 Airport Road in Maple on its winter or summer schedule.
Get it ready
Keep the items out of the recycling area and put them in the bulky waste area, and take a load that includes contractor or commercial debris, or a pile larger than the centers accept, to the transfer station instead. Mattresses and box springs, carpet and foam backing, large household items and large plastic toys are the bulky items the county names.
Display the Currituck County Access Permit on the vehicle windshield, and check the site hours before leaving because the centers run Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday mornings are closed at Moyock and Grandy until 1 p.m., and Sunday hours run from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. with Moyock, Grandy and Carova Beach open from 7 a.m. in the summer season. Bagged household garbage goes in the compactor, recyclables go loose and rinsed, and bulky waste, white goods, yard waste, electronics and personal vehicle tires go to their own areas.
The transfer station at 216 Airport Road in Maple takes residential and commercial waste and is the only place that accepts an appliance still holding Freon and a yard waste load larger than a five by eight foot truck bed. It runs Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon from October 1 through April 30, and Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. from May 1 through September 30, and it closes on Sundays and on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Every load is weighed, and the schedule charges one hundred five dollars a ton inside the county for residential, commercial, construction and demolition, yard waste and bulky waste, with the first five hundred pounds free for a Currituck County property owner when the waste was generated in the county.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
