Other notes
- One free annual pass contains four punches, available January 1 to December 31 from the office or by the mail/email method on the official notice. Lost dump passes cannot be replaced.
- The schedule is an image titled 2026 on the current official page, filename June 2026. It gives the station one-half mile north of County Road 380 on the east side of 52 1/2 Street, approximately a mile east of Breedsville. Township office on County Road 388 is not the station.
- Tires are accepted May through October only, passenger/semi, ten per day; NO large tires. NO tires in November or December per the 2026 calendar, even though the general district page describes free tire recycling.
- No liquids, paint, oil, gasoline or toxic chemicals. Construction materials are directed to other transfer stations for a fee, not this site.
- The price table lists large appliances but leaves the punch amount blank. Confirm appliance charge, refrigerant requirements and acceptance before bringing one. Recycling is listed separately as free by the conservation district.
