Similar to past years, items must be dropped off inside the fenced area at the public works shop.

The following items will be accepted: electronics, and electronic waste, tires, batteries, paint, furniture, small metal items, and appliances such as fridges, stoves, freezers, washers, dryers and dishwashers.

The following items will not be accepted: construction waste, roofing material, fencing including wood or chain link, auto parts, cement, and renovation materials including drywall, wood and decking.

Fees are $5 per load, $25 for pickup at property, $10 for a non-freon appliance, and $30 for a freon appliance.

Tree or grass clippings are free.

However, residents are reminded a $25 fee will apply for pickup at an individual’s property.
