CURE in Brunswick County is a group of residents that support a countywide curbside recycling program. The group began as CURE in Leland; however now that the Town Council voted to begin a curbside recycling program January 2009, our focus has expanded to a countywide program. Through this blog, we hope to attract additional members and supporters throughout Brunswick County. There will be periodic reports on the group's activities and information about the cost savings and environmental benefits of curbside recycling.

On Saturday, May 3, 2008, they hosted an Anniversary Celebration that brought in families from all over the country who were interested in touring the community and previewing their newest neighborhood.

The day was complete with island-style cuisine, live reggae music provided by JAH Creation of Wilmington, NC, helicopter tours, and boat rides on the Intracoastal Waterway.
