Recycling programs

 

Rock, concrete & asphalt

These materials can be ground up and used as aggregate in concrete or as road base. We can legally haul up to 10 tons. These loads may not include trash, vegetation (including roots), plastic liner, wood, etc. The unwanted materials may result in a clean-up fee that may be more than the original agreed upon price; these materials may also result in the load being treated as a trash load which may double the recycle price. Also take a look at our toxic removal page for further information.

Green loads

Tree trimmings and yard waste are ground up and used as mulch. Unacceptable items include:

• Trash
• Root balls
• Succulents (examples include ice plant & cactus),
• Fibrous trees and plants because they don't grind up well
(examples include palm trees, palm fronds & yucca)
• Trunks greater than 4 feet in length
• Processed wood
• Dirt

Also take a look at our toxic removal page for further information.

Wood loads

Lumber may be recycled. Restrictions include:
• No paint, varnish, stain or other treatment of the lumber.
• No composite lumber such as plywood or fiberboard.
The glue used in these products make them non-recyclable.

Also take a look at our toxic removal page for further information.

Metal loads

Metals can be recycled as long as they are free of trash.
We charge a haul rate and refund or credit your account for the proceeds of the metal sale (supported by a copy of the recycle's receipt).
Mixed metals usually receive a lower price per ton than separated metals.

You may dispose of any material in these boxes weighing less than 500 lbs. per cubic yard except for dirt, rock, concrete, roofing materials, and hazardous waste.

If you need to dispose of materials that are over 500 lbs. per yard, you may order a dirt box. Dirt boxes are available in 8 or 10 cubic yards.

A box may be kept for 6 days. It will be automatically removed on the seventh day. There is a nominal fee for additional days.

Also take a look at our toxic removal page for further information.
