Those are the non-commercial rates for residents of member Gage County communities; commercial haulers pay $52 a ton. Separate construction debris site: $12 a cubic yard plus the state fee.
From BASWA Resolution 77, rates effective March 31, 2025. Member towns and the county pay an annual per-resident fee that covers their residents' access.
Separate brush, appliances and tires from the rest of the load, and remove Freon from appliances before you bring them. Secure every load or pay $5 extra. Saturday hours are limited, so check the calendar: first and third Saturdays from April through September, first Saturdays only from October through March.
Nebraska law keeps grass, leaves and other yard waste out of landfills from April 1 through November 30, so bring it separately to the yard waste or compost area. Car batteries, waste oil, tires and household appliances can't be buried at all; landfills take tires and appliances for a fee and send them to recycling.
