Other notes
- Current county fees took effect July 1, 2026. Cash bills $1-$50, cards and debit accepted; no coins or larger bills, no card processing fee.
- Household trash/furniture and described vegetative debris accepted; grass and bagged leaves go in MSW containers. Timber must be under 16 inches diameter and eight feet long; no stumps, bamboo, dirt, mulch or dedicated concrete/asphalt loads.
- Recycling without fee: listed paper/cardboard, glass, metal containers, food/beverage cartons and plastics 1-7. No contaminated containers, plastic bags or Styrofoam in bins. Scrap metal and qualifying small textile donations have separate areas.
- Food-scrap compost service is folded into this parent facility. Use the provided certified compostable bags in purple carts: listed food, food-soiled paper and certified compostable products. No pizza boxes, pet waste, diapers, ordinary plastics or straws.
- Selected daily HHW includes original-labeled securely closed containers of listed automotive oils/fuels/antifreeze, generally ten-gallon limits, plus up to five lead-acid batteries and oil filters. Gasoline/flammable liquids require OSHA-approved gas cans and staff handling.
- Oil-based paint, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides and rechargeable batteries belong to SPECIAL EVENTS within published limits, not routine daily intake. The next announced HHW event is November 14, 2026; confirm event location/hours separately.
- TVs/monitors may go to trash containers for the published $9 disposal fee, or a separate e-cycling event. This is not a promise of daily electronics recycling. Propane rules conflict: accepted section lists 1/20-pound tanks while exclusion language elsewhere uses greater-than-20 and greater-than-30-pound limits. Confirm tanks before loading.
- No dump trucks. Northern prohibits PTO dump units and leaf-box trucks; Southern prohibits activating PTO units in disposal bays. Ask staff if unloading assistance is needed.
- PTO dump units and leaf box trucks are prohibited at the Northern Area Convenience Center. No dump trucks are allowed at either center.
