The local facilities listed below accept large items, electronics, construction waste and/or general garbage, and recycle as much as possible.

There may be a disposal fee as indicated; conditions may apply to free items; calling ahead is advised.
Disposal is less expensive for pure categories (e.g., greenwaste only) than for mixed loads (e.g., construction waste). Call or visit websites for details and rates.

Important commercial note: Commercial haulers with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 7 tons or more are regulated by the Unscheduled Collection Ordinance, even when hauling waste from their own jobsites in their own trucks. See the Debris Boxes/Rolloffs and Dump Trucks section for more info.
