The Solid Waste Department announces that free disposal for storm debris taken to the landfill will officially end on January 4, 2025. After this date, all storm-related debris brought to the landfill will be subject to regular fees and policies. To ensure a smooth transition, residents are encouraged to bring their storm debris to the landfill on or before Saturday, January 4, 2025.
