Facilities for Large Loads

The following facilities are designed for large loads only. If you have less than 1 cubic yard of any material, please visit a CSWD Drop-Off Center, or call your hauler.

All loads entering these facilities must be covered to minimize the possibility of items flying out of the vehicle. Fees are based on weight; minimum fees may apply.

Note: Many of these facilities are not owned or operated by CSWD.

Trash & other landfill material

As of July 1, 2014, transfer stations must accept mandatory recyclables. However, mandatory recyclables may NOT be mixed with trash. Anyone mixing trash and mandatory recyclables such as cardboard, paper, beverage containers, etc. may be fined.

Items banned from landfill disposal are not accepted at transfer stations (mandatory recyclables are accepted only if separated from landfill-bound trash). A fee of $20 per ton (minimum fee of $60) will be assessed on loads that contain banned materials. See section 4.13 of the Solid Waste Management Ordinance for details.
