Residential Transfer Station Rules and Fees

As you enter the facility, a solid waste technician will survey your material and estimate the type and quantity of material you have. You will be directed to place recyclable items in the recycling containers and trash in the trash container. Banned material will not be accepted.

The transfer station is for use by residential customers only.  No commercial trash is allowed.
