Garbage goes in at no cost. Extras are cheap: $5 for a couch or mattress, $25 for a refrigerator or other metal appliance, and $10 a yard for construction materials.

Construction materials include roofing, ceilings, flooring, walls, fencing, insulation, sheetrock, tile, cabinets and dimensional lumber. Clean, uncontaminated motor oil is taken at the collection site during landfill hours.
Bag all loose garbage and separate your load: painted or stained wood, other wood, metals, household waste and tires each go to their own spot. Children stay in the vehicle. No asbestos or hazardous materials.
The landfill usually writes you a ticket, which you pay at the Powell County Clerk and Recorder's office afterward; unpaid tickets are invoiced at the end of the month. You can also buy punch cards from the Clerk and Recorder ahead of time.
