Other notes
- TWO-SORT now required: keep cardboard separate from other commingled paper, plastics, metal and glass. Follow signs at the center.
- Accepts residential electronic waste, scrap metal such as hangers/metal siding/satellite dishes, and worn U.S. flags in a dedicated collection box. No business e-waste.
- Tires, refrigerant-appliance charges, Saturday landfill hours and used-oil rules on the same county page refer to the separate landfill at 811 E. County Road 450 S. Do not assume they describe intake at Mapleton Street.
- The county also lists Petersville Convenience Station on 25th Street, Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is a separate location, not weekend hours for this center.
