Transfer station limits haulers

In an effort to reduce contact between staff and members of the public due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the solid waste facility, having started Thursday, March 26, will no longer accept “self-hauled” municipal solid waste. Commercial operations, such as Pullman Disposal and Waste Connections (Empire), can continue as they are on an established “Commercial” account and do not require interaction with facility staff. Other businesses with established commercial accounts will also be allowed.

Green wastes and household hazardous wastes, which are currently accepted “free of charge,” will also still be accepted as there is no interaction with facility staff. Anyone needing to dispose of municipal solid waste is encouraged to contact a commercial hauler, such as Pullman or Empire Disposal, to make arrangements for pickup.
