Kill Devil Hills solid waste supervisor outlines free mulch program
Summary
Jason Carter, Kill Devil Hills solid waste supervisor, summarized the town's free mulch program, noting two annual bulk-trash pickups, year-round yard-debris acceptance at the recycling center, two mulch locations (Aviation Park and the recycling center), and a staff-assisted loading option during business hours.
Jason Carter, the solid waste supervisor for Kill Devil Hills, described the town's free mulch program and how residents can obtain mulch from two town locations.
Carter said Kill Devil Hills runs two bulk-trash pickups each year—one in the fall and one in the spring—and accepts yard debris at the recycling center year-round. "By having 2 bulk trash pickups, 1 in the fall, 1 in the spring, and accepting yard debris at the recycling center year round allows Kill Devil Hills to have mulch free for anyone to utilize," he said.
The town offers mulch at two sites. Aviation Park, at 103 Veterans Drive, is self-serve "at any time," Carter said. The recycling center, at 701 Yamuna Bay, also provides free mulch during normal business hours. At the recycling center, residents "can talk to recycling specialists and sign a form to get the truck or trailer loaded by 1 of our operators," he said, describing an assisted-loading option for people who prefer staff help.
Carter framed the program as a community maintenance measure, saying the mulch helps residents "keep their properties and yards clean and beautiful." He emphasized that the mulch is available to anyone who wants it.
Residents seeking mulch can visit Aviation Park for self-service or the recycling center during business hours for assistance; contact numbers or hours were not specified in the remarks.
