3. What do I do with leaves and yard waste?

There are two ways to dispose of leaves and yard waste:
1. You can purchase Yard Waste "tags" to dispose of leaves and grass clippings in your brown paper yard waste bags.
2. You can take miscellaneous yard waste over the scale and pay 3.5¢ per pound (there's a $5 minimum).

Get the current yard waste tag price.

4. Do I need a sticker for my car?

No. When you arrive, just follow the signs to recycle, drop off tagged waste or have bulky items weighed. Please call 401-783-4554 for more information.

5. I have an old couch and some construction material I’d like to get rid of. What do I do?

It's easy. When you drive in, bear right to the scale house. The attendant will weigh your vehicle full, weigh it empty and charge you by the pound for the difference (there's a $5 minimum charge). Get the current per pound price for bulky waste.
