Landfill

When bringing waste to our landfills, the following things are expected: 

• Proof of residency. Only residents and property owners can use the Landfill sites. You may be asked for proof such as your driver's license or a tax bill. Please bring something with you so you are not turned away.
• Proof of Source. Only waste from the Township can be taken to the Landfill sites. If you are not a property owner in the Township but are bringing waste from the Township, you will need to fill out a Proof of Source form and provide it to the attendant.
• If you are making regular deposits and would like to have an account, please complete and submit the Landfill Application Form.  
• Respect and Responsibility. The landfill is under the RZone policy which is to promote respect, commitment, and considerate relationships between the Township and the public to foster a safe and positive environment. Please respect our Staff and they will in turn respect you. Thank you.
