⚠️The county facility page does not state who may use the landfill. The price sheet prices loads for county residents, businesses and non-residents, which indicates public self-haul is accepted (inference). Call to confirm.

⚠️Only the per-ton rate, volume rate, special items and tire sizes that were clearly labeled on the price sheet are listed. The sheet's vehicle minimum-fee table (automobiles, vans, pickups, trailers) could not be matched to its labels, so those minimums are left out. Call to confirm the minimum for your vehicle.

⚠️The mounted and unmounted prices for motorcycle, passenger and small truck tires could not be matched to their labels on the sheet, so they are left out. Residents get up to 4 free per trip per the sheet.

⚠️The county facility page still carries a COVID-19 notice dated 5/13/2020 saying no cash is accepted (cards with ID and business checks only). It may be outdated. The price sheet repeats the no-cash rule, so cash is likely not accepted today.
