🔎 Sources Disagree

  • 🔎The county's earlier policy (effective March 1, 2025) banned all construction debris at convenience sites. The March 18, 2025 revision allows up to 1 cubic yard per day from a primary residence. We use the revision.
  • 🔎The county lists this site as 'Landfill' at 1609 Airport Rd, next to the C&D landfill at 1607 Airport Rd. Our name is descriptive.
