What it takes
It’s the only place in Howard County that takes construction debris. The Alpha Ridge Landfill Residents’ Convenience Center takes tires, appliances, mattresses, some paint, electronics, used motor oil, some batteries, and household hazardous waste. The Alpha Ridge Landfill Wood Waste Area takes brush.
Each item has its own rules. Check before you go.
Howard County rules
- Show your driver’s license as proof of Howard County residence each time; staff may check the address. Nothing from outside the county is accepted.
- Residents may bring up to 2 tons of household trash and 2 tons of yard trim free each year from July through June, in a vehicle up to 3/4 ton registered in the county. Past that, it’s weighed and charged the commercial rate.
- A dump truck, box truck, trailer, or rental vehicle counts as commercial: it crosses the scales, and fees may apply. Trailers, box trucks, and rental trucks can’t enter the Residents’ Convenience Center.
