Which rate your vehicle pays

Flat rate: sedans, hatchbacks, coupes, SUVs, crossovers and station wagons. Non-commercial (weighed): minivans, pickups, full-size passenger vans, and flat-rate vehicles towing a single-axle trailer of debris. Commercial: everything else, including box, rack and dump trucks, step and cargo vans, flatbeds, dual-axle and box trailers, vehicles with dealer plates or company lettering, any vehicle where the resident isn't present, and anyone paying with a business card. Rented vehicles are classed by type.

The landfill next door dates to 1971, and the town is studying a groundwater cleanup for its oldest cells; it held a public meeting on corrective measures in March 2026. The residential drop-off keeps operating.
