- Not accepted at centers: LP gas tanks, car parts, yard waste, dirt, sand, dead animals, land-clearing debris, construction and demolition materials (drywall, shingles, carpet, cabinets, fixtures, concrete, brick, fencing, pallets and similar), and antifreeze. Take these to the County Landfill and pay by the ton.
