Self-hauling limits
- Residential customers receive 10 cubic yards of free disposal for bulky waste and appliances to CCC's per year, as part of their annual assessment
- This is equivalent to the material that can be put into a vehicle pulling a double-axle trailer or a loaded box/straight truck. A loaded pickup truck generally only carries about two cubic yards.
- Once the 10 cubic yard limit per year has been reached, residents will be required to deliver their solid waste material to one of the County’s Solid Waste Transfer Stations and pay standard commercial disposal charges, or wait until the next annual assessment when your 10 cubic yards of free disposal resets on October 1
- Residential customers can ask the facility attendants in person or call the Solid Waste Customer Service Team to learn how many cubic yards of free disposal they have left at (813) 272-5680
