Reflective safety vests are required while unloading trash. Vests are available at the landfill for one dollar.
There will be no charge for trash hauled in cars, pickup trucks or pickup-size trailers (5-cubic yards), however, loads that are not covered will be charged double the regular rate.
To dispose of appliances containing refrigerants (air conditioners, freezers, refrigerators, etc.), the owner must possess a certification of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) removal by a certified EPA technician. Appliances without this certification will not be accepted. Other items that will not be allowed at the landfill include:
• Tires, car batteries and used oil
