How do I dispose of diesel or gasoline?
Gasoline and/or diesel can be taken to the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day. However, this must be delivered
in gallon containers only; no drums can be accepted. There is a limit of 15
gallons or 125 pounds per trip. This is related to the amount you are allowed to
transport, not the amount that the event can accept. Thus you can make
multiple trips to an event if desired.
How do I dispose of old tires?
The law says that individuals can only haul 9 tires or fewer unless they
are registered by the state. A law enforcement office may ask the driver to present their
registration permit. Registered haulers can transport only to authorized
facilities.
How do I dispose of TV's, computers, and other electronics?
You can bring these items to the
John Smith Road Landfill at no charge during regular business hours. Click on the John Smith Road
Landfill link for specific details. You can also donate these items to
your local Goodwill or Salvation Army store. It's best to call ahead to
find out what restrictions and conditions may apply to the items before they are accepted.
