Rubble / Construction Debris Disposal Changes
The disposal of these items has changed. Rubble / construction debris now gets disposed at the Regional Landfill. At this time access must go through the Solid Waste Facility. Large loads will have to be hauled to the landfill by the customer – 26 mile round trip. Smaller loads can be dumped into roll off containers at the Solid Waste Facility. Loads must be covered and secured or a fee will be assessed in addition to the tipping fee.
Electronic Recycling Options
Various electronic items (computers, TVs, microwaves, fluorescent bulbs, etc.) can be recycled for a fee. Contact the Solid Waste Facility for more information at 773-7434.
Paint Swap
You can drop off paint at your convenience year round and you can come look at the selection and take any paint during our hours of operation. We have a large selection of paint. In 2011 we took in over 3,300 cans of paint and almost 1,200 cans went back out to be reused. The Paint Swap area is at the Solid Waste Facility.
Waste Separation Guidelines
Waste items coming to the landfill have to be dumped in different areas as required by State & Federal Regulations & Laws. Everyone is expected to separate their load on site if they have different types of wastes. Below is a list of the classification of the different types of waste. If you have something not listed, please call us at 773-7434 so we can help you best handle your waste items.
