Department of Motor Vehicles (Licensing & Registration)
Whether you’re getting your driver’s license switched over to a North Carolina license, or you’re registering your vehicle in North Carolina for the first time, you’ll want to access the Department of Motor Vehicles website at www.ncdot.org/dmv/ to find out what information you’ll need to take with you. The DMV requires that you pass an exam before obtaining your driver’s license, so you’ll need to pick up a booklet from the DMV to study. The closest DMV to Kure Beach is located at the South Square Plaza in Wilmington: 2390 Carolina Beach Road, Suite 108. They are open Monday through Friday from 9:00am-5:00pm.

Recycling Service
Waste Management is responsible for collecting your recyclables. Come to the Kure Beach Town Hall to pick up your recycle bin and the collection calendar. Generally, recycle pickup is every 2nd & 4th Thursday of the month, with the exception of holidays. You can place your bin on the curb after sunset the day before pickup, but you must return your bin to your property by midnight of the day of pickup. There is a large recycle dumpster located at Joe Eakes Park on 7th & K Avenues, if you have an extra amount of recyclables or if you will not be in town to put your container out for pickup. If the recycle dumpster at the park is full, DO NOT LEAVE your recyclables on the ground next to the dumpster. Waste Management will only pick up items inside of the dumpster. Call Waste Management at 799-5256 for additional information or to report an uncollected bin.
