The majority of the materials that are not accepted often cause damage to our heavy machinery. Constructi on material and lumber typically have metal hidden throughout, which can ca use damage to our grinder. Tree stumps often have rocks, which are challeng ing and time consuming to remove. We also do not accept leaves since other debris, such as rocks and metal, can get swept up with the leaves. Please d o not use heavy machinery to load material into vehicles/trailers as this w ill often add dirt and rock. Staff reserve the right to reject loads for an y reason.

Tincup Materials

Unfortunately, the Coun ty is not able to take detached pi ne needles at the new Tincup Ridge Slash Yard site this year. Currently, on ly woody debris such as limbs, branches, and logs are acceptable at this lo cation as we undertake ongoing construction and enhancements to the site. N eedles and leaves attached to branches are acceptable.We do accept pine nee dles at our rotating sites this season – including Elk Creek Elementary, Ma rshdale, and Blue Mountain. For these rotating sites, please ensure that yo ur pine needles are free of rock and dirt as this will damage the equipment. Pine needles can be bagged, but you will need to unbag them and take the bags wi th you when you leave the slash site. We continue to try and reduce the foo tprint created by offering this service and requiring material to be unbagg ed helps to reduce waste and promotes reusing bags.Here is a Pine Needle Alternative Disposal Reso urce page.Fees

Loads outside these parameters will b e charged accordingly
