(These charges may be accessed on a per load or a per day basis.)
eg: Five 3 yard loads into the dumpster per day will be charged $175.00, not $25.00 for the five combined loads. Four full sized pickup truck loads in one day will be charged as 7 to 12 yards of material. There is no charge for burnable materials, however, we are physically limited to the amount of materials deposited per burn cycle.
Changes are necessary in order to make this facility at least partially support itself. Users should also be aware that every item deposited in this facility, or any other place that it does not belong must be cleaned up with your tax dollars, and that illegal dumping, at this facility or on lands of another, is a Class E crime punishable by stiff fines and jail sentences.
