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 convenience centers take lawn clippings and limbs less than eight feet long and four inches in diameter, and a yard waste load larger than a five by eight foot truck bed has to be taken to the transfer station.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The county publishes no separate charge for the yard waste its convenience centers accept within the size limits. A load over a five by eight foot truck bed goes to the transfer station instead, where yard waste is charged by the ton at $105 a ton inside the county with the first 500 pounds free for a Currituck County property owner.
When & how
Take the yard waste to a convenience center during its hours with the access permit on the windshield, or take an oversized load to the transfer station at 216 Airport Road in Maple.
Get it ready
Keep every limb under eight feet long and under four inches in diameter, and keep the load to a five by eight foot truck bed or less so it can be handled at a center. Yard clippings are explicitly refused in the recycling area, so the material goes to the yard waste area rather than with the recyclables.
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.
