Every per-ton and per-load price includes the state's $1-a-ton tipping fee. Tires are for Butler County residents; tires from out of county pay double, and tire businesses can't use the service. Count and separate your tires by type at drop-off, or pay a 20% penalty.
Clean tree waste, yard waste and wood chips are free, and so are appliances without refrigeration units and other scrap metal. Butler County residents can also load their own wood chips for home use when they're available: stop at the scale house first.
The landfill closes on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
