Other notes
- Public entrance is 1916 Nokomis Street. Commercial trucks use 2004 Nokomis Street; 2115 Jefferson Street is employee-only waste-to-energy access. Administration office hours are not the public gate schedule.
- Actual currently linked fee flyer was read. Its October 12, 2026 filename and Updated 09/26 footer differ, but the live authority fee table explicitly labels the listed rates residential 2026, valid through December 31.
- Flyer lists mixed/single-sort recycling, flattened cardboard, organics, plastic bags/film and textiles. Keep special streams separate; this is not permission to put film or textiles in single-sort bins.
- Also lists appliances, waste oil/filters, cooking oil, scrap steel/aluminum/copper, wire and string lights. No verified ordinary household-garbage tipping service or fee is asserted for this center.
- Household-hazard list includes pharmaceuticals, sharps, bulbs, batteries, one-pound propane tanks and empty pesticide containers. Ask about safe packaging and appointments before bringing chemicals/sharps.
- The flyer literally labels its battery threshold as 300 watts and less, not watt-hours. That unit is ambiguous for battery capacity; do not convert it into an invented acceptance limit. Call with the battery label.
