It's a dump but the employees were helpful and it was about what you'd expect. A bit pricey but not many options.

Don't know why they charge you to dispose of a microwave. It's metal and glass. What's not to recycle?

Yes, it’s where you take your garbage. But everyone who works there is delightful. Everything is labeled well.

Do you take pressure treated wood?

Bob Taylor | Nov 15, 2021

My most recent trip mid Dec 2021 they did. The ridiculous laws are always changing tho. They made me go through the vehicle que twice, once to get the form and told to go pull over to fill it out and again for weigh-in. They ask on the form to state whether you are a business, transporter or hauling from your own residence. You have to guess the % weight of your load that is pressuretreat. Then they make you lift it into really high metal bins, edge is maybe 4 ft off the ground, higher than a raised truck bed. I had 300-400 lb concrete lumps with a pressure treat 4x6 post in the middle and they made me put them in the bins. Not fun but sometimes you can beg one of the heavy machinery operators to help you though they aren't supposed to. I was helping my friends take a load to the dump. So when I left they gave me a slip of paper saying I might be subject to fines at some point if I keep operating as an unregistered "hazardous waste transporter"
