Residential Dump entitlements

Each homeowner in the City of Taylor is entitled to two free annual dump visits (up to 500 pounds per dump) at the Taylor Hills Transfer Station/Compost Site. Non-homestead properties (rentals) are not part of this free program. To take advantage of this free dumping, residents must show proof of residency to the gate attendant upon arrival at the Transfer Station. Residents are no longer required to obtain a physical pass. They are now processed electronically. To show proof of residency a photo ID or tax bill/deed with proof of identification is acceptable. Residents are asked to use compost bags (brown paper bags) along with compost cans for compost only (i.e. grass clippings, leaves). No bags or cans will be accepted with rubbish or debris mixed with compost. This process will ensure the quality of finished compost available to Taylor residents. Non-acceptable items include hazardous waste (look for caution signs on items like danger, warning or poison), concrete, brick, shingles, tires, paint, car parts, boats, and trailers. The City of Taylor maintains the right to refuse any loads or customers at the site.
