Other notes
- Enter only from Kishwaukee Street. Household waste traffic follows cones left; remain in vehicle while staff unloads. No smoking. Exit onto Martin Road. Tire-only customers keep right and load tires into the shipping container themselves.
- Accepted household materials include aerosols, corrosives, oxidizers, solvents, oil-based paint, waste oil, fuels, pesticides, fertilizers, household batteries and fluorescent lamps. Liquid waste must be in secure containers of no more than five gallons.
- No latex paint, pharmaceuticals, radioactive waste, compressed-gas cylinders/tanks, explosives or containers larger than five gallons. Automotive/marine 12-volt batteries are not accepted.
- Limited intact non-friable residential asbestos may be accepted only with preapproval at 779-348-7425. City recommends licensed asbestos professionals for testing, removal and disposal; do not disturb material for a routine drop-off trip.
- Phone above is the city contact, not a claimed direct weekend facility line. This is a specialized HHW/tire center, not a general household-trash station.
