Before you go

  • The $50 yearly household solid waste fee on your tax bill pays for dropping off household trash at the landfill and convenience centers. It doesn’t cover construction debris, yard waste, or unsorted trash, which the landfill charges $45 a ton for ($5 minimum).

Convenience centers

  • The landfill and convenience centers take only waste from Wayne County. The convenience centers take no contractor or business waste, dump trailers or trailers over 10 feet, box trucks, or heaping loads; take those to the landfill. Pull recyclables out of your household trash first.
