Union County Solid Waste provides environmentally-sound and cost-effective solid waste disposal and recycling services for residents of Union County. These services are funded by a combination of fees and tax dollars. Most fees are paid for by private companies who use the County’s waste services and facilities.

County residents can dispose of bagged household garbage and unbagged recyclable materials the Union County Landfill or at five residential waste and recycling centers throughout the County.

The "Trash Pass" program allows county residents to dispose of a limited amount of household waste for free; fees apply to excess garbage for county residents and to all garbage for customers who live outside of the county.
