Drop-off Facilities

IMPORTANT UPDATES

In the continued efforts to protect public safety and slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus some of our local drop-off facilities have modified services.

If you cannot dispose of certain hazardous waste materials at this time please hold on to these items until facility operations are restored. These items cannot be placed in the trash as they are hazardous to the environment.

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.
