I also go to the dump here a few times a year, to get rid of stuff the trash co wont take. It's a giant landfill area, west of town. It's like $12 for a dump load, so long as the weight is under a certain limit. They weigh you in on way in and out. It's old school but very well organized, and they are constantly moving the dump area. covering it with dirt, rinse repeat, it just seems to go on and on.We live in town and there is trash pickup but sometimes it's easier to go to the dump ourselves. We had curbside recycling but the private company doing so discontinued the service because their drivers had difficulty with large trucks and narrow streets with on street parking. I understand that to mean they were losing money because of insurance claims. We now haul our recyclables to the recyclable bin at the dump even though we know doing so is not profitable for anyone these days and there is no guarantee that they won't end up in some out of sight portion of the dump or trucked to another dump instead of being recycled.
