Other notes
- Seward has no scale; the fee page says it charges by cubic yard based on the outer dimensions of the vehicle and any trailers.
- Source problem: the Seward fee notes on the borough locations page repeat the Homer text (a commercial scale on a separate access road). The fee page says Seward has no scales; we show cubic-yard pricing.
- Grass clippings and leaves go on the transfer building tipping floor, bagged and tied. Fish waste limited to 2 bags per day.
- Limits: appliances 5 per year per source; vehicles 5 per year (towing companies exempt); used oil 10 gallons per day and 25 per month.
- Commercial C&D jobs are limited to 250 cubic yards per job.
- Not accepted: ammunition, explosives, liquids, medical waste, radioactive materials, RV dumping, sewage or human waste, tree stumps.
