Know before you throw

Tina's trash tips

1

Call before you haul

Listed hours don’t cover holidays or early closings. A two-minute call beats a locked gate.

2

Paint and batteries skip the dump

They go to a household hazardous waste drop-off. Lithium batteries can start fires in the trash.

3

Tarp your load

Anything that can fly out of a truck bed will. Tie it down and cover it.

4

Bring ID and ask about payment

Some sites only take county residents. Ask how they take payment when you call.

Which place do you need?

Landfill / dump

The big one. Trash goes in and stays forever. Most charge by weight or truckload, and some only take commercial haulers, so call before you show up with a pickup full of couch.

Transfer station

The trash layover. You drop it here, they truck it to a landfill. Often closer than the landfill itself, and usually a fee per load or by weight.

Recycling drop-off

Cardboard, cans, bottles, paper. Most are free. Not the place for your old recliner, no matter how recyclable it feels.

Yard waste / compost

Grass, leaves, branches, and that limb the storm dropped on your car. Often free for residents.

Household hazardous waste

Paint, chemicals, batteries, motor oil. The stuff that should never go in the trash, however tempting.

Where this comes from

How we get our information

  1. DonePulled from public listings

    Hours, phone numbers and websites come from each site's Google Maps listing. Latest pull: Nov 14, 2026. Every card shows its own pull date.

  2. DoneFiltered to public drop-offs

    We remove haulers, dumpster rental, junk removal, scrap buyers and closed sites. If it isn't somewhere you can drive up and drop off, it's out.

  3. Not yetChecked against official sources

    Fees, accepted items and residents-only rules will come from each site's own page or the county, with the source and date shown. Until a listing says so, nothing here has been verified that way.

Questions

Where is the nearest dump to me?

Tap "Near me" above and we’ll line up the closest landfills, transfer stations and drop-off sites, with their listed hours. Or search your city the old-fashioned way.

What is the difference between a landfill and a transfer station?

A landfill is where trash is buried for good. A transfer station is a collection point where trash is dropped off and then trucked to a landfill. For a load of household junk, a transfer station is often closer and quicker.

How much does it cost to go to the dump?

Most public dumps charge by weight or by load, often with a minimum fee. Tires, mattresses and appliances usually cost extra, because of course they do. Some counties let residents drop off for free on certain days. Call the site or check its website for current prices.

Can I take paint and chemicals to the dump?

Usually not. Paint, chemicals, motor oil and batteries go to a household hazardous waste drop-off or a county collection day. The landfill crew will thank you.
