Frequently Asked Questions

Does Taft Recycling Center accept household hazardous waste like paint and chemicals?

Yes. There is a dedicated Hazardous Waste Facility on the Taft premises that accepts paint, chemicals, and cleaning supplies from residents — up to 15 gallons or 125 lbs — at no charge. Those hours are Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, which differ from the main facility hours.

Is there a fee to drop off yard waste or construction debris at Taft?

Yard waste and construction/demolition debris are accepted at a gate rate of $126.50 per ton (after the environmental fee and taxes), with a two-ton minimum ($253.00 per trip). Additional fees apply for specialty items such as tires and mattresses. Standard household garbage is accepted as municipal solid waste.

What happens if my load is not covered when I arrive at Taft?

The facility strictly enforces a covered-load rule: all loads must be tarped or secured so nothing can become airborne. Uncovered or unsecured loads are charged double the standard rate — no exceptions. Tarping your load before arrival will save you money.
