      Before you go

      Before you bring your haul to the Environmental Park & Transfer Station, remember to separate like items and cover your load.

      Separate like items

      Sort and separate recyclables from the garbage in your load to make drop-off easier and more efficient. Cardboard, metal, recyclables, tires, yard waste, and hazardous materials should be separated in your load. Alachua County strives to ensure the above items are put in the appropriate place.

      Cover your load

      Uncovered loads cause potential danger to other vehicles on the road if items fall off during transport, and can result in a littering fine. To stay safe, please cover it up and tie it down.​​​
