Your vehicle will cross weigh scales both entering and exiting. Please obey all traffic signals and signs. When you enter, tell the scale house staff the type of materials you have to dispose. Staff will direct you to the correct drop-off locations. At the exit scale, staff will inform you of the cost. |
| Material limits per day |

| Accepted materials |
|
Residents dropping off a boat or other watercraft must ensure all fluids (gas, oil, coolant, etc.), flares, fuel and oil filters are removed. Remove the fuel tank from the boat whenever possible. If you cannot provide physical evidence there are no hazardous fluids on the boat, the boat will not be accepted. Removing these items protects the safety of staff and prevents environmental contamination. Leaf and yard waste is no longer accepted at Regional waste management facilities. Residents can take advantage of the free curbside leaf and yard waste collection. Check your waste management calendar for collection dates.
