Important updates for 2023:

Beginning January 16, 2023, tipping fees will apply for any logs, clean wood or green-waste material brought into our yard for recycling. Customers will have the choice of paying a flat fee per year or paying a fee each material is brought in for recycling. For customers purchasing an annual permit, a special card will be given them to hang in their window. Clients with multiple vehicles can be given a permit card for each vehicle. Please click here to view our fee schedule.

We have also made some changes to the yard access hours. In the past, the yard was open 24/7. Unfortunately, we have had too many individuals abusing the wood recycling lot by dropping of trash and other unacceptable items. Most of those items were coming in after hours. Starting immediately, access to the recycling lot will be Monday - Saturday, 7 am - 5 pm.

Accepted Items

  • Tree / Shrub Trimmings

  • Logs (any diameter)

  • Branches

  • Load Inspection:

    You are responsible for inspecting your load before and after unloading. Please take all unacceptable items along with you. Watch for any tools that may have been a part of your load. A digging iron going through the grinder with the green waste can do thousands of dollars of damage in one second! If you think you may have left a tool in your load, please call us so we can watch for it.
