Union County residents may dispose of limited amounts of household garbage at any Union County waste facility for free through our Trash Pass program. To participate, county residents must show proof of county residency, such as a motor vehicle registration, current government-issued ID or current utility bill, or display one of our "Trash Pass" window clings on their vehicle.

The program will operate as follows:  

• Bring your bagged household garbage to the Union County Landfill or to one of Union County's Residential Waste and Recycling Convenience Centers during regular operating hours. Residents may dispose of up to 10 standard, 13-gallon trash bags or five larger trash bags per day at a convenience center. 
• Show proof of county residency to the site attendant. Your car registration, current government-issued ID, or a current utility bill in your name with your current address may be used to prove county residency. 
• Pay only for excess household waste. Household waste not covered by the new “Trash Pass” program is subject to disposal fees of $1 per standard household bag or $2 per larger bag (14 gallons or more). For a combination of bag sizes, the site attendant must review the quantity and sizes of bags to determine the appropriate fee, if any.   
• The "Trash Pass" program does not apply to recyclable materials. Please see the Waste and Recycling webpage or ask a site attendant about acceptable recyclable materials.   

Site attendants will provide you with a decal to place on your vehicle's windshield; the decals will be used to help confirm county residency.
