  2. No hazardous waste will be accepted;
  3. Municipality will only provide pick-up on residential properties;
  4. Maximum quantity will be restricted to one dump truck load or five (5) ½ ton loads per property;
  5. The Landfill Site Attendant has the right to turn away vehicles should they feel it is necessary. Any disagreements will be resolved through Operations Manager at a later date.
