Other notes
- Russell currently links this brochure from an April 2026 storage path, but the document itself says updatedJanuary 2022/January 2023. Do NOT treat the upload date as a 2026 price adoption; all quoted dated rates require confirmation.
- Business membership conflicts WITHIN brochure:$75 plus load charges in general/current-fees sections, but business-rate panel says$60/year plus recycling rates. Nonmember-household fee listed$75/year. Ask attendant rather than choosing one business price.
- Residential mixed stream: clean necked plastic bottles#1-7, tin/steel cans, cartons, boxboard, glass bottles/jars, mixed office paper/newspaper/magazines and dry flattened cardboard. No bags, foam, motor-oil containers, food-soiled paper, light bulbs, mirrors or window glass in ordinary bin.
- Special electronics, appliances, tires, metal, oil/filters, antifreeze, batteries and lamps need designated receiving and inspection. No gas/propane tanks or paint cans in scrap metal. Never mix antifreeze/solvents/water into oil.
- Open-top bulky dumpster is SEASONAL, call first, attendant inspection REQUIRED. No concrete, rock, household food-waste bags or hazardous waste in that dumpster. Listed pickup-load prices are ranges, not a guaranteed quote.
- Hazardous-paint collection is a separate regional Clean Sweep program; the brochure mentions a fee for paint left on site, which is NOT permission to leave paint unattended.
