Landfills take the widest variety of waste materials of all the waste facility types within the KPB, as well as receive all the materials transferred from other solid waste locations. Not all materials are managed in the same way, and it is important to properly handle and segregate them for disposal in accordance with state and federal regulations.
Landfills feature engineered lined cells with environmental protections, a designated construction and demolition (C/D) area, metals and recycling collection, a brush pile, a dedicated asbestos cell, and a public tipping floor for municipal solid waste.

Transfer Sites
Transfer Sites are small, no-frills, unstaffed waste disposal facilities located throughout the KPB in select communities. Transfer Sites offer residents a convenient place to dispose of regular household waste. These locations typically consist of several large drive-up dumpsters that are periodically hauled away and emptied by a contractor. These locations only allow regular household waste – no construction/demolition waste, tires, metals, furniture or appliances, and no contractor dumping. Transfer Sites are typically available 24/7 for waste disposal, though some locations vary. Click on each location below to see specific location details.
