Hartland Bin Area

The Hartland bin area is a residential drop-off location for:

  • Garbage
  • Drywall
  • Mattresses
  • Yard & garden Material
  • Wood waste

To access the drop-off bin area at Hartland, follow the signs to the general public scale and check in with the attendant. You can then proceed to the right, where you will find bins for the items listed.

Once you've finished unloading your items, you will need to drive over the scale again and pay for the weight you have unloaded.
