HOODS MILL LANDFILL CONVENIENCE CENTER UPDATE

The Hoods Mill Landfill Convenience Center was closed effective April 2020.  County residents may bring waste and recyclables to the Northern Landfill Monday through Saturday during normal operating hours.  Alternatively, residents may contact one of the county-licensed waste collection companies for their waste and recycling disposal needs. 

WeCare Denali has established a residential yard waste drop-off at their operation on Kabik Court adjacent to the Hoods Mill Landfill.  Carroll County residents with proper identification will be permitted to deliver yard waste, from their own property, free of charge from 7 am to 11:45 am on the Saturdays indicated in the calendar below.  Acceptable and unacceptable types of yard waste are also described below.

The following items are NOT accepted: Treated and untreated, stained, painted, or creosoted lumber and railroad ties;
invasive plant species such as bamboo, Japanese Stilt Grass, poison ivy or oak; rocks, stones, blocks and pavers, and other landscape materials; additional items as identified by WeCare Denali at their discretion. WeCare Denali retains the right to reject any loads of material for any reason.
WeCare Denali processes yard waste into mulch, compost, and other products, helping the county conserve valuable landfill space while recycling.
