Public Works Staff maintain the facility by ensuring that it is kept organized and clean, ensuring the safety of the public, and that waste items are separated into general household waste, brush and untreated wood products, construction materials, washers/dryers, stoves, tires, scrap vehicles, and scrap metal, etc. Waste Oil is not accepted at this facility. Burning of household waste is not permitted. All batteries are to be taken to the Recycling Center for proper disposal.
