Preparations in Manteo for a Relaxing Labor Day Weekend
As we gear up for the holiday weekend, the lovely town of Manteo is abuzz with excitement and plans for Labor Day. While many of us are eager to celebrate this much-anticipated break from our usual routines, it’s important to stay informed about the adjustments in local services to ensure a smooth transition into the holiday.
Labor Day Closures: What to Expect
On Monday, September 2, 2024, all Dare County offices and facilities will be closed in observance of Labor Day. This includes the Dare County C&D Landfill, Manns Harbor Transfer Station, Buxton Transfer Station, and the Manteo Recycle Yard. However, there’s good news – the Dare County trash collection schedule will remain unchanged for the day, meaning you can put out your trash as usual, without any disruptions. This is a great relief for residents who rely on these services!
Regular Operations Resuming
After the holiday, all offices and facilities will reopen and resume their regular hours on the following day, Tuesday, September 3, 2024. So if you need to take care of any business, you can plan accordingly and visit them during their usual operating hours.
Public Works Department Services
Throughout the week of September 2nd to September 6th, the Dare County Public Works Department will continue to operate on a normal schedule. This applies to services in the unincorporated areas of Dare County as well as within the Town of Kitty Hawk. It’s always a good idea to keep in mind that these essential services will be available, allowing residents peace of mind during the busy holiday week.
Kitty Hawk’s Trash Collection Continues
If you reside in Kitty Hawk, here’s an important reminder: the Saturday residential summer trash collection for the east side (or ocean side) of the bypass is still in effect. It will continue through the Labor Day weekend and will conclude coinciding with the last summer Saturday pick-up on September 7, 2024. Make sure to adjust your trash disposal plans accordingly as summer comes to a close!
What About Incorporated Towns?
If you’re living in any of the incorporated towns – like Duck, Southern Shores, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, or Manteo – you’ll want to reach out to your local municipality for information regarding any potential changes to your residential and commercial trash collection services. Getting in touch is the best way to stay on top of any alterations that might affect your waste management schedule.
Stay Connected
For those wanting to stay informed regarding community updates and events in the Outer Banks, subscribing to local news or community bulletins can be quite helpful. It’s the perfect way to get the top stories delivered straight to your inbox every morning, keeping you in the loop about what’s happening around you.
In Conclusion
As we plan our festivities for Labor Day, remember to check on service schedules to enjoy a hassle-free holiday. Prepare for great celebrations ahead, and don’t forget to take a moment to relax and appreciate the hard-working individuals we’re honoring on this special day. Here’s to a fun, safe, and memorable Labor Day weekend in Manteo!
