Containers used for waste oil or antifreeze cannot be recycled with their normal counterparts (HDPE Plastics) and will be disposed of in the regular household garbage. Batteries, Automotive/Marine (wet cell). All batteries must be either completely drained of all electrolyte, or be of sufficient structural condition so as to not cause contamination due to leakage.

No paper clips, spiral bound books/binders or metal of any kind. Corrugated cardboard items are to be empty of all packing materials (Styrofoam, Plastics), broken down and placed into the compacting container. Small styrofoam (Peanuts) packing materials should be bagged and disposed of with household garbage. Large pieces of Styrofoam should be put in bulky waste.

Bulky Waste/Demo

Waste items other than household garbage, recyclables, or hazardous waste will be placed in bulky waste open dumpsters provided. Partially filled latex paint cans that are completely dried out, or in a solid state are allowed.

Bottles/cans should be clean, but labels need not be removed. Do not put (tempered) mirrors, window glass or car windshield glass in the glass containers.

We encourage you to compost/recycle at home. Brush/yard debris does not include leaves, except for the few attached to any limb or stalk. Brush under 3” in diameter can be placed in/on the brush pile. No other material (construction waste, fence posts, railroad ties, etc…) is allowed. Check with site personnel before dumping your load.

The trading shed is where usable items, "too good" to toss out are set aside for others to take. The goal is to provide useful items to the community (recycle) as much as is reasonable within the limited space provided. No trash please. No items that are hazardous waste or items in disrepair.

Do not block traffic while visiting the swap shed. Please do your part in keeping the shed safe, clean and orderly by removing excess packing, bags or boxes from items if not needed for storage, while in the shed.

There is a container provided for returnable bottle/cans, from which the proceeds benefit the school.
