Other notes
- Center accepts hazardous materials, car/light-truck tires (limit six), electronics, confidential documents for shredding and recyclable material. Guide specifies six car/small-truck tires per week, on or off rim; confirm before bringing a full allowance.
- HHW list includes oil-based paints/stains, garage/household chemicals, flammable liquids/solids, acids, poisons, rechargeable/vehicle batteries and fluorescent lamps. No latex/water-based paint or medications. Medication box is separately at Criminal Justice Center, 107 W Taylor Street.
- Ordinary recycling includes rinsed glass food/beverage bottles/jars, household plastic containers, cardboard, paper, steel/aluminum cans. Center also takes clean Styrofoam, alkaline batteries, printer cartridges and car seats stripped of fabric/straps. These special streams do not belong at the unstaffed community bins.
- Guide file name says revised August 6, 2026, while its internal publication field says TBA 2026. The details are attributed to that retrieved guide rather than an invented publication date.
- Food-waste program provides a five-gallon bucket and takes accepted food/compostables at the center; obtain bucket and instructions before participating. Bulk trash, mattresses and construction loads use the separate transfer-station/voucher rules, not recycling intake.
