Some items you need to dispose of can’t be accepted by Homewood Disposal. This happens for various reasons, such as landfill restrictions. These items are referred to as “hard to handle.” Currently, we cannot accept the following hard to handle items:electronics, hazardous material, propane tanks and batteries. We do, however, offer alternative removal options.

Helpful Hints
- Please have all material at the curb by 6am on your pick up day. It may be helpful to place your material at the curb the night before your pick up.

- Please place your garbage in bags before you put it in your cans or carts. This helps prevent materials from blowing out of the can and also reduces odor in your container.
