What should I do with extra trash and recycling?

There are multiple options available for handling extra trash and/or recycling volume, depending on your needs and the type of waste service you have.  These options include:

• Decrease your trash volume by placing cleaned recyclables into your recycling cart or dumpster.
• Break down your recyclables, including cardboard, before placing them in the cart or dumpster.
• Drop-off extra trash at the transfer station, subject to a fee based on volume.
• Free drop off of recycling at the transfer station.
• Increasing your cart or dumpster size, subject to a fee based on the volume needed.
• Call for a one-time extra service, subject to a fee.
• Residential waste service customers are allotted 4 annual transfer station dumps, up to 3 cubic yards each, at no additional cost.

If I am a residential waste service customer how should I dispose of yard waste outside of the dates for the 16 week program?

Outside of the 16 week program yard waste is treated as trash.  If you are a cart customer and have extra volume available in your cart you can place yard waste in your trash cart.  If you are a bear shed customer and have extra volume available in your box you can place yard waste in your box.  Yard waste cannot be placed in the recycling cart at any time.  Outside of the 16 week program you may not place it in bags or cans next to your cart or bear shed.  You may also use any of the options detailed above for excess trash.

If I am a commercial waste service customer how should I dispose of yard waste?

Commercial waste service customers can use their dumpsters, self-haul to the transfer station or rent a yard waste bin from a private hauler.

What if I am a residential waste customer with cart service and I do not have a secure place to store my carts in order to avoid wildlife issues?

There are multiple options for customers that do not have a secure place to store their refuse.  These include:

• The ideal service option is a bear shed.  This service option has the lowest rate available.
• Customers can elect to have locking wildlife resistant cart service.  This service option can be used to help secure trash and/or recycling which is stored outside.
• Customers can leave their cart(s) empty until after 5 AM their service day and fill the cart(s) prior to placing the cart(s) at the curb for collection.
• Customers can drop-off their trash allotment at any point prior to service day at the transfer station in lieu of service curbside.
