LANDFILL HOURS OF OPERATION
(Weather permitting and excluding Statutory Holidays)

Wednesdays: 9:00 am to 12:00 pm
Saturdays: 8:00 am to 10:00 am

The Landfill will have an attendant on-site during hours of operation to ensure that waste is deposited in the proper location and to collect the appropriate fees.  There will be notice given if there are changes due to weather or other circumstances which would require us to close the Landfill.

TIPPING FEES:

All other load types will be charged accordingly at the attendant’s discretion on duty.

Not Allowed: Shingles, Carpet, Linoleum, Paint cans, Tires, Batteries, Propane Tanks, Chemical Containers, Hazardous Waste or toxic wastes of any kind, Explosives, Animal Carcasses, Oil and Oil filters, Cardboard, Paper.  Halocarbon items and air conditioners must have the refrigerant removed before dumping.

Discretionary Items: (The town strongly encourages property owners to get a bulk disposal container for all significant renovations) include Drywall, Insulation, Concrete, Siding, Doors, Windows, Painted Wood, Electronics, tin cans, and plastics.

The town of Milestone encourages you to use your curbside container to dispose of all household materials.

If you are unsure where to dump, DON’T DUMP!  Contact the gate attendant.

The gate attendant will be recording the name and materials of all visitors.  Verbal abuse to the attendant or improper dumping will not be tolerated, and you will lose your landfill privilege and possibly be subject to fines!
