Other notes
- Rates are explicitly labeled valid through December 31, 2026. The authority says a 10% surcharge continues on all loads, yardage and tons. A standalone $2 minimum and $10 text have no clear item label in the page and are not interpreted here.
- No trees, stumps, branches, brush or other yard clippings. No liquids such as oil, gasoline or paint, lead-acid/vehicle batteries, fluorescent lamps, motors or sewage. Not licensed for hazardous waste.
- There is no ordinary recycling program. Small amounts of scrap metal can go in the marked container; metal is charged except washers, electric/gas dryers and electric/gas ranges. Whole tires cannot go into the landfill; confirm separate handling before bringing them.
- Refrigerators and air conditioners must go into the labeled Refrigerators/AC Units container, not the landfill. Special-waste approvals and engineering/handling charges are separate from routine household disposal.
