Other notes
- Use 1313 South Big Lake Loop Road, not Town Office at 6965 West School Street. The phone above is the office, which publishes the program rules.
- Detailed hours/rates were read in the currently linked 2026 PDFs. A 2023 template copyright footer does not erase the explicit 2026 gate-season dates.
- The town webpage lists dump-truck yard rates, but the linked 2026 brush PDF omits that category. Do not assume large dump-truck access or a universal price without calling.
- Ordinary listed paper/cardboard, glass bottles/jars, cans, cartons and #1/#2/#5 plastic containers are free to recycle. Paid trash is not permission to mix recyclables into garbage.
- Do not give unused year-end coupons to the attendant. Town warns they could be counted as used and billed to the town; recycle/discard them instead. No coupons were purchased.
- No hazardous waste, including old gas, oil or oil-based paint cans. An empty gasoline-tank fee is not permission for full fuel containers; ask before transporting.
