Making your Visit Easier

  • Residents with trailers of trash or self-haul yard waste should pass through the scales. There is no charge for these items and it improves traffic flow on busy days.
  • Refrigerators and Freezers - please remove the doors from these items.
  • Pack your items reverse of how you will unload:

Back of Trunk or Truck Bed (last to be unloaded)

  • Metal
  • Residential Trash
  • Tires
  • Electronics
  • Auto Batteries, Oil and Antifreeze
  • Reusable Building Materials
  • Clothing and Textiles
  • Foam (styrofoam goes with trash)

Front of Trunk or Truck Bed (unload these first)

  • Cardboard
  • Rigid Plastic
  • "All Together" Recycling
  • Asphalt Shingles
  • Household Hazardous Waste (Saturdays ONLY during collection season)

Truck landfill

We ask that you take a few minutes to SORT your trash, since much of the household trash you bring may be recycled or reused by placing it in one of the many recycling containers or trailers at the Center.

Remember, one person can make a difference!
