Special Waste

One key to the Authority's success in managing the County's waste in an environmentally responsible manner lies with you!  Because managing certain materials called "special wastes", in ways that will not harm disposal facilities or the environment, requires your help. Because if you understand what special wastes are, and how they should be handled, you are doing your part to help protect the integrated system, and in doing so, the environment.


TIRES

If you hire your own trash hauler, most of them collect tires. There is usually an extra charge for such services. Call your waste hauler for more information.

If your trash hauler does not accept tires, you may hire another trash hauler to pick up them up for you. Or you may take them to Authority facilities for disposal. The Authority charges a fee; please call the office for details.
