What not to bring
The city notes it's unlawful to put hazardous waste of any kind in residential collection. Take chemicals, paint and batteries to a household hazardous waste program instead. See household hazardous waste. The city's South Mulch Facility on Davis Creek Road is listed as closed, so yard waste goes to Trail Ridge at the yard-waste rate.
Tips for a smooth trip
- Saturday closes at 1 p.m. Arrive early, especially if you're coming from the north side.
- Tarp the load. See covered-load rules.
- Keep tires and appliances where the scale attendant can see them, and declare them.
- Use the Dumpmapper map to find closer transfer stations or recycling drop-offs.
