Town of Edenton residents who want to purchase a trash container from the Town of Edenton: please fill out the Trash Can Purchase Form and return completed form to Town Hall (400 South Broad Street) and Public Works will deliver to your residence.
Please keep your container clean and secure it in the event of a hurricane or severe thunderstorm. If you regularly overfill your cart, or your cart becomes damaged, call Public Works.
Please do not place any chemicals in solid waste containers as this can be hazardous and can cause a fire inside the solid waste collection truck.
