New Bern’s New Recycling Program

Our current recycling program with collection on Wednesdays will end Sept 25, 2019. You may keep those forest green bins you have been using or set them out for collection with the next regular trash collection in October and they will place them in the landfill, or bring them to a convenience center. The regular weekly trash pick-up on Wednesdays will continue with no change.

Beginning in October, recyclable material will be picked up ONCE A MONTH. You should already have received the new 95-gallon lime green bin on wheels with printed material about when recycling will be picked up, what can be recycled, where to place your bin, and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

Greenbrier follows the Yellow schedule, as indicated by the decal on the top of your bin. The once-a-month collection for the Greenbrier route will begin Thursday, October 31, 2019. Bins should be curbside by 7AM. The next collection after that will be four weeks later, which falls on Thanksgiving Day so collection will be moved to Friday, November 29th. We will add the recycle dates to the Calendar on this website.

If you have lost the printed material that came with your bin, you will find ALL the details on the new recycling program at .Craven County Recycling
