  • Materials that will not be accepted at these locations or events: explosives, fireworks, flares, ammunition, sharps, electronics, non-hazardous flood debris or solid waste. For assistance disposing flood-related explosives, fireworks, flares, and ammunition contact your local fire or police department.
