Once solid waste items have reached the end of their usable life, often they may be recycled or disposed of in your household garbage or at a transfer station or landfill. In some circumstances, these items may require special handling, such as items containing refrigerant, waste tires and household hazardous waste, etc. Improper disposal as illegally burning or dumping solid waste may result in fines.
Disposal
Waste Hauler Information
Incorporated areas of the County will usually have a government-contracted waste hauler. Contact your local city administration for information on obtaining these services.
Citizens living in un-incorporated or rural areas of the County do not have a government-contracted waste hauler and will need to obtain these services on an individual basis. These citizens have a selection of waste haulers with varying pricing structures, services, etc. Click here for a list of licensed waste haulers.
Roll Off Container Providers
Businesses and industry often utilize large, open-top waste containers called "roll off containers" for disposal of solid waste. On occasion, individuals may find these containers useful as well. For instance, during an addition or remodel to your home. Click here for a list of roll off container providers.
Transfer Stations
Transfer stations are solid waste facilities where waste is brought in in smaller containers such as pickup trucks, compactor trucks and roll off containers and is then "transferred" to open-top semi-trailers to be transported to a landfill for final disposal. Citizens may deliver waste items that are not collected by waste haulers, such as furniture, to a transfer station. A fee is charged for the disposal. The fee varies based on the amount of waste. Each transfer station sets their own rates. Citizens should contact a transfer station directly for a list of acceptable materials and current rate information.
There are four permitted transfer stations in Benton County. These are:
