About

The cost to dump is based on weight. As you enter the facility your car will be weighed, and you’ll be given a card with a number. Hold onto this- you return it when you leave so that your total weight dumped can be calculated.

Rates are subject to change, but at the time of this posting, they were as follows:



Enter the facility through the weigh station

You are given a card – make sure to keep this!

After being weighed it’s time to find the dump bins! If you have any question about where to go you should ask the weigh station attendant – it’s not obvious the first time you visit where to go next. We had miscellaneous trash, so we followed the signs for “CCC” which takes you to large dump bins. An attendant then told us which lane to use, and we backed in for easier offloading.

This is where you can dump your trash – but you’ll have to drive all the way around the facility to get to these bins
