Please come prepared to unload and place your materials into the appropriate collection container yourself or bring along the extra muscle power you need.

Optional loading assistance

Customers have the option to pay a $5.00 equipment loading fee (in addition to any applicable disposal fee), for particularly bulky or heavy items such as a sleeper sofa, riding lawn mower, cast iron bathtub, exercise equipment, etc. This fee permits the customer to leave the item on the ground in a designated area of the facility to be loaded into the appropriate bunker or container later by CSWD equipment operators. This option does not refer to assistance in unloading the items from your vehicle.

Please note that, due to their fragile nature, this equipment loading fee cannot be applied to the handling of TVs and other large electronic devices. These devices must be placed in the appropriate area by hand or on a dolly, and the customer is responsible for careful placement.
