Garbage is collected every Monday for ALL of Fort Fisher Blvd, Atlantic Ave, Spotters Court and properties south of K Avenue, including the south side of K Avenue. Tuesday collection is for all other properties north of K Avenue, including the north side of K Avenue. The Code of Ordinances
specifies that your Garbage Cart should be placed in front of your premises only after sunset on the day prior to pickup and must be returned to your home by midnight

License Tax (Decal)
We are often asked by our residents (temporary or permanent) why it is necessary to pay the annual License Tax in order to obtain a
decal. To summarize part of the License Tax ordinance: each owner of a motor vehicle that displays a current NC license plate and
who resides full-time within the town (temporary or permanent) shall pay an annual License Tax for each vehicle in the amount of
$5.00 for which the resident will receive a decal to affix to his/her vehicle. If the decal is not purchased by March 31st, a $10
penalty will be charged in addition to the License Tax, for a total of $15. Any person who violates this ordinance shall be subject
to a civil citation in the amount of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for the first offense, and the second offense shall subject the
person to a misdemeanor charge. For all non-resident owners and all new residents, the decal is available at the cost of $5.00
year-round.
Decals by mail - The License Tax to purchase a decal may be paid by mailing a copy of the vehicle registration, the vehicle owner's name, the Kure Beach property address, a check for the appropriate amount and a self-addressed, stamped envelope to: Decal Department, Kure Beach Town Hall, 117 Settlers Lane, Kure Beach, NC 28449.

Waste Management handles the Town's recycling pickup. All residences should have a recycle cart with yellow lid. Anything that will not fit into your cart will not be picked up by Waste Management. Do not leave overflow on the side of the cart for pickup. You should take all overflow recyclables to the New Hanover County Recycle Center, located at the Moose Lodge on Carolina Beach Road in Wilmington. See directions, below.
