Know Before You Go!

Answers to common waste-related questions.

Our Drop-Off Centers are self-serve facilities. We would love to be able to help everyone, but safety and liability concerns and staffing limitations prevent us from helping customers remove any items from their vehicles.

Trash loads of more than a cubic yard–about a small pickup truck load–must go to one of the two privately owned transfer stations. Businesses with recurring loads of more than two 95-gallon carts (or the equivalent) of Blue-Bin Recycling must contact the CSWD Business Outreach Coordinator, who can help you find the best option.

We can accept large loads of some Organics and Special Materials at our Drop-Off Center in Williston and our Organics Recycling Facility. See the A to Z entry for that material for options and fees.

CSWD does not provide any pick-up services. See our Local Pickup Services page for local service provider contact information.
