Construction debris rules

Rockland takes construction and demolition debris only from inside city limits. You certify where it came from and give the address and your name and phone number; without all three, the rate rises to $300 a ton. Stumps are $100 a ton, and ash isn't accepted.

Wink's Place, the swap shop at the station, takes donations of usable items and is free to shop.
