COVID-19 related safety measures are in effect as we process your materials. Eco Station staff will be wearing personal protective equipment for everyone’s safety. We ask the public to respect the following safety guidelines:

Do not visit the Eco Station if you feel sick or have any COVID-19 symptoms: cough, fever, shortness of breath, runny nose or sore throat.

Pre-sort at home to minimize time at the Eco Station.

Containers for used oil and other hazardous waste will not be returned.

Cars may be queued to gain access to the site to ensure physical distancing.

Please remain in vehicle until approached by Eco Station staff.

Only one person will be allowed out of a vehicle.

When on site, respect safe distancing guidelines between others.

Please follow all signs relating to product drop-off and safe handling of materials.

Only handle your own material. Do not handle any other material dropped off by others.

Starting Dec. 9, 2020, the Eco Station will no longer be accepting cash. A limit of 2 free bags of household waste will be accepted. Tips on managing extra waste are available on our Special Disposal Services page.

Bring your own shovel and pail to pick up compost and mulch.

We kindly ask customers for their patience and cooperation during this time. Thank you for continuing your waste sorting and recycling efforts!
