What items are acceptable at the landfill?
The landfill accepts a variety of items including normal household refuse (paper, plastic, cardboard, kitchen waste), toys, clothing, furniture, hot tubs, fencing, mattresses, tires, and more. Certain items are conditionally accepted, such as refrigerators, freezers, and similar appliances, which must meet specific requirements set by the state. Additionally, organic materials like brush, tree limbs, tree trunks, trimmings, grass, leaves, and cacti are accepted.
I need to dispose of an appliance (washer, refrigerator, etc.)
Before taking an appliance to the landfill such as a refrigerator, you will need to remove the freon and provide the gate house with the certification of removal. This will ensure the landfill is keeping up with disposal requirements. Some appliances, especially those containing refrigerants like refrigerators, may need special handling.
