We are a Hatteras Island based recycling service focusing on the visitor population and local residents alike. In our first year, the 2007 summer season, Hatteras Recycle diverted 30 tons of recyclable bottles, cans (glass, plastic & aluminum), cardboard and newspaper from area landfills.

This was done with just one small commercial vehicle and 2 people! All of our recycled material goes into Dare County's recycling program where it is sold in recycling markets. Dare County's cooperation is essential to our success.

We currently service over 1000 homes (vacation and residential) on Hatteras Island with three orange commercial trucks and a crew of nine.

Press Release:

October 2012
We are continuing work on the Frisco site and hope to have a building sometime this winter. We will be publishing recycling rates among property management companies this spring. Rent from a green company!
***WE ARE NOW RECYCLING THROUGH OCTOBER!***
