Transfer Station Accounts

Businesses or residents can set up a Transfer Station account.  This allows you to haul material into the transfer station as needed and be billed monthly.  You will be required to sign a receipt upon exiting the facility and you will be given a copy of this receipt.  This is also an option for residential customers who have gone over their yearly allowance on their residential permits.

Speed Limits

 The speed limit on the road approaching the scale (from Benton Ave.) to the posted speed limit sign at the scale is 25 mph.  The speed limit from that point forward is 15 mph.  Please abide by the posted speed limits.  Speeding can result in loss of privileges to use the Transfer Station.

 

Residential Permits

Residential users must show permits in order to use the Transfer Station. City and County residential solid waste fees are paid on residential property taxes. If you are renting, please check with your landlord.  For more information on residential permit eligibility, click here.

Permits are required for E-Waste as well as a per item fee. Out of District and commercial customers will pay current tipping fees as well as a per item fee.

Permits are required for Recycling- out of district and commercial customers will pay the current tipping fee for recycling. The weight of recycling is not deducted from the permits allowance if the whole load is recycling. If the load is mixed with garbage and recycling, two trips through the scale will be required. The weight of the recyclables will not count against your bulk solid waste allowance.

Composting

Compostable materials are diverted from the waste stream for processing.  These items are not considered "recycling" - the weight is deducted from your Bulk Solid Waste Allowance.

Grass clippings, leaves and small branches are accepted for composting. These materials are then transported to Site E for processing. 

Grass Clippings and Leaves - Place grass and leaves into designated piles. Empty bags into piles and properly dispose of bags. 

Branches - Place branches in designated location. Do not contaminate with garbage or other wood waste.

 

Tires

We do accept tires at the Transfer Station.  The following fees apply:

  • $2.00 for tires off the rim under 20 inches (inside diameter)
  • $5.00 for tires on the rim under 20 inches (inside diameter)
  • $10.00 for Semi Truck/Trailer Tires off or on rim and between 20-25 inches (inside diameter)
  • $25.00 for Tractor/Equipment tires over 25 inches (inside diameter) not to exceed 48 inches (outside diameter)

Automotive Wastes

Car Batteries - Please store in an upright position and place in designated container, to the east of the scale,  before the administrative building. 

 

 

Waste Oil - Accepted from residential users in quantities of 5 gallons or less per visit to the Transfer Station. Please bring oil in a container that can be left at the Transfer Station. Do not mix with antifreeze or other liquids.   

Antifreeze - Accepted in quantities of 5 gallons or less. Do not mix with other liquids.

Appliances

A $7 per unit fee is charged for refrigeration units. This fee helps to offset the cost of Freon removal, which is mandated by law.  All refrigerators/freezers must be empty prior to disposal.  All refrigerator/freezer doors must be removed and all other appliance latches/doors must be disabled or removed prior to entry.  All appliances and ferrous metals should be placed in designated areas.

Household Hazardous Waste

Wastes generated within your home are not regulated by law and can usually be legally and safely disposed of at the Transfer Station once they are properly prepared.

Paints, solvents and other liquid wastes may be air dried or solidified in sand or kitty litter and then double bagged for disposal. If you are unsure about a specific item - call the Recycling Line at 447-8084 for assistance.

Latex Paint - Latex paint exchanges are held twice a year in spring and fall. 

If the paint is not usable or if you cannot bring the paint on these dates, please air dry or solidify and double bag for disposal.

When purchasing household hazardous wastes (items that may be hazardous to health or the environment), please look for a safe alternative first. Then remember that the product isn't a waste until you throw it out. So, if you buy what you need and use what you buy - there isn't any waste for disposal.

Tipping Fee - $70.75 per ton
