Accepted & Nonaccepted Materials 

Know Before You Throw: Accepted & Non-Accepted Materials

Landfills are designated sites for the safe disposal of waste, regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to protect the environment and public health. The EPA sets strict guidelines on what materials can be accepted, prohibiting hazardous waste, certain chemicals, and other pollutants that could contaminate soil and water. Compliance with these regulations ensures responsible waste management and sustainability.

Sort & Recycle Program

We encourage customers to recycle by sorting their materials before disposal. Our facility offers designated bays for separated materials such as concrete, wood, metal, and other recyclables, making it easy to divert waste from the landfill.

 

By properly sorting your debris, you help reduce environmental impact and promote sustainable waste management. If you're unsure where to place your materials, our team is happy to assist. Please stop at the first window of the office while pulling onto the scale for directions.
