residential disposal sites brochure
An attendant will be present during all open hours to direct you. Anyone entering the
collection site must stop at the attendant's booth and have their driver's license scanned.
This will help us to provide statistics about the type of waste and approximate volume of
waste collected. This information will help the collection centers to
better serve residents in the future.
