Other notes
- Glass must have no metal caps/lids; paper labels may stay. No plastic bags or boxes in the glass collection.
- Public plastic/can/paper recycling accepts only #1, #2 and #5 plastic. All items clean and without food residue; no soiled pizza boxes. The county uses a per-bag pricing unit, not permission to put bags into glass bins.
- Break down cardboard. Large quantities are directed left of the trash drop-off, around the corner from the recycling location. Confirm how linear feet are assessed before bringing a large load.
- County Events page still heads September 26, 2026 collection as upcoming, but that date is past. Its HHW, electronics, paint and tire event charges do not establish daily permanent transfer-station intake.
- The free newspaper bin behind Daily Reporter is newspapers/inserts only. Although old graphics call it a fundraiser, county says it is no longer one. General trash disposal and gate rates are not verified here.
