Transfer Station Hours:

A reminder that we have a revised recycling program. We take perfectly good material that can be used for all kind of things. We would like for you to know we take paper cartons that food and drinks come in as well. These go directly into the commingled compactor. They need to be empty and rinsed but it’s very important to recycle them along with the other items listed. The recycling facility is located in the building adjacent to the tipping floor at the Transfer Facility aka the dump. Thank you and happy recycling. 

The Public Works Department operates and maintains several large pieces of equipment including 3 loaders, a road tractor, and 4 trailers. Public Works also operates the animal shelter for stray dogs as well as servicing many of the county vehicles.
