A valid Madison County
Solid Waste Disposal Card is required when disposing of waste in
Madison County's Solid Waste disposal facilities. The annual
fee is included on the property tax bill. The solid waste
disposal card will be issued along with receipt of payment.
Please keep the card in a secure place as you would any credit card;
it is your key to solid waste disposal in Madison County.
Your solid waste
disposal card will be honored when disposing of your waste at
Madison County's solid Waste Collection Center and at the County
Landfill. Display your card to the attendant on duty at the
Collection Centers or at the scale house window when entering the
Landfill. The card will have the owner's name and numerical
number that can be identified if attempted use is made by a wrongful
holder.
Disposal at Collection
Centers are provided for the acceptance of residential household
related waste only. Your disposal card will enable you, at no
other cost, to dispose of your daily general garbage, household
fixtures, such as furniture, appliances, TVs, microwave, etc. and
your recyclables.
Appropriate containers
are provided for these items. Please bag or contain all loose
waste taken to the Collection Centers. Household hazardous or
toxic waste cannot be accepted.
Large loads, loose
waste, construction and demolition waste, industrial or commercial
waste, certain farm related waste and any special waste are to be
taken to the Landfill. Regulations require the separation of
wastes due to where and how it is disposed. General trash,
furniture and carpet must be disposed of in the transfer
station. Construction and demolition materials go to the C
& D Landfill. Appliance/Metal and Recyclables go to the
designated containers provided at the Landfill. Always keep
this in mind when loading your vehicle; it will make unloading much
easier.
