Keeping Up With the Clerk By Charles Rocci Pine Knoll Shores Town Clerk Guidelines for trash and recycling in Pine Knoll Shores As you are likely aware, the town decided to move its municipal trash service to Waste Removal at the start of January 2022. We are very excited for this new partnership and hope that Pine Knoll Shores community members will see the benefits of this transition. As Waste Removal’s first municipal customer, we recognize that there will be some challenges at the beginning. We hope that through steady communica tion between the town and Waste Removal, and patience and cooperation from residents, this will be an easy transition leading to quality service in Pine Knoll Shores. Vvaste Removal would like to begin fielding calls for general questions; rental cans and reports of missed service. They can be reached at 252-49S-9710. Please note that Waste Removal begins pickup at 6:30 a.m. Property owners are asked to have cans out the night before, but expect pickup time slightly later than you may have grown used to. As I write this article, we have seen one week of trash service and have already identified one major issue with pickup that needs to be addressed immediately. Our recycling load is full of plastic bags and is unable to be processed in recy cling machines, forcing recyclables to go in the landfill. To address this issue, I am going to present some general information from the town’s recycling calen dar available for pickup at town hall, on the town website (townofpks.com/Re- sources/Document Library/Recycling Calendar) or at tinyurl.com/2p92t923. Here are some general tips for recycling presented on the calendar: • No plastic bags are allowed in recycling. • Metal cans (food, soda, etc.), plastic jugs (milk, detergent, etc.), glass (bot tles, jars, etc.) and paper (mixed and office paper, cartons and cardboard) can be included in all recycling. • AU recycled containers need to be emptied and rinsed. • Cardboard should be flattened. • Items to keep out of recycling include aerosol cans, all batteries, ceramic items, clothing, diapers, electronics, hazardous waste, household glass, medical waste, plastic bags and wrap, shredded paper, scrap metal and wood, and plastic foam (sometimes referred to as Styrofoam). PKS Police Bulletin (Continued from page 3) providing us with the opportunity and support to utilize the latest in technologies and tactics to keep our community safe. In other news, you will soon notice a new face patrolling our neighborhoods. Jeffrey “Chase” Kearney is our newest full-time police officer. Chase comes to us from the Wayne County sheriff’s office, where he spent the last four years as a deputy sheriff. Chase is currently completing his field training program and will soon be patrolling the streets on his own. Please don’t hesitate to say hello and introduce yourself if you have the opportunity to meet him. What’s Up With PARC?
