Other notes
- Special recycling/HHW center, NOT general garbage, furniture or construction-debris disposal. Dumping prohibited.
- Current county page links a 2026 flyer; the fully retrieved detailed official flyer is explicitly Updated March 2025. The following material detail is attributed to that older flyer, not claimed as a verified 2026 expansion. Confirm before unusual/large loads.
- Reviewed March 2025 flyer accepts household paint/chemicals/oils/batteries, listed electronics including whole CRT/flat TVs and microwaves, fluorescent bulbs, clean general recyclables, paper for shredding and qualifying residential tires. Microwaves ONLY accepted appliance in flyer.
- Flyer excludes refrigerators/air conditioners/dehumidifiers, other appliances, furniture/mattresses, trash, C&D/carpet, food/yard waste, sharps, medicines, asbestos, ammunition/explosives and foam/plastic bags. Do not use this as an all-appliance recycling center.
- Residential tires limited to auto/bicycle/motorcycle with rim diameter no greater than 20 inches. County FAQ says transport ten or fewer per load.
- Large loads require advance phone appointment. County has separate resident/business waiver forms. No form, appointment or account created.
