Waste Disposal & Recycling

RECYCLING AND WASTE DISPOSAL: 

For your convenience, we have a waste disposal site, located at the end of Dump Road, just off County Road CC.  An attendant is on duty from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturdays.  Cost for this convenience is $0.40/per pound.  This fee helps to defer some of the costs for waste removal from the site.  Please note weight limit per bag is 20 lbs.  If you have trouble lifting it so will our dump attendants.  Please be courteous about this.

You can be fined and/or cited for any ILLEGAL dumping of waste, tires, electronics, appliances, etc.

SEPARATE GARBAGE FROM RECYCLING.  CLEAN RECYCLING ITEMS ONLY. TEAR DOWN AND FOLD ANY CARDBOARD.

RECYCLING: The waste disposal and recycling site accepts paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, and aluminum cans.  Please separate these clean items from your waste and turn them in to the attendant. NOTE:  TAKE OUT CONTAINERS, PLASTIC BAGS, or USED PAPER PLATES are not recyclable, please place those in your garbage.There is no charge for this service.  We do receive grant monies each year to help offset the cost of recycling.

PLEASE NOTE:  Electronics, tires, furniture,, mattresses, construction/wood/metal scrap, or appliances are not accepted at our site.  Watch for special recycling event ads in local newspapers for dates, times and places where those items are accepted.

YARD WASTE:  Yard waste is defined as grass clippings, yard and garden debris and brush, including clean woody vegetative material no greater than 6 inches in diameter.  This term does not include stumps, roots, or shrubs with intact root balls.
