Household trash, yard waste, concrete, asphalt, metal, bulky items and construction debris may be dropped off during the event. All loads are subject to inspection and must be properly tarped under state law.

Neither hazardous waste nor electronic waste will be accepted. To dispose of such items, residents need to make an appointment for the city's facility for household hazardous waste. Appointments can be made on the city's website at www.toaks.org.
