How do we define

Trash?

Any item that does not fall into one of these categories is considered trash.

If you are looking for a specific item, please visit our A-Z List.

Inappropriate burning or burying of any waste is illegal due to the risk of releasing toxins into the air and groundwater.

Violators of these requirements may be subject to fines of up to $500 per incident. 

CSWD provides information, programs, and facilities to help our members prevent and reduce waste and manage all materials streams appropriately.
