BULKY ITEMS
If you have items that you wish to dispose of that are not part of the regular weekly rubbish collection, a couple of options are:
-Take your items to the Hatch Hill Landfill. Residents of Augusta can go up to 3 trips per calendar year without having to purchase a Hatch Hill Permit. You will need to pay the tipping fee to dispose of your items; however the residential pass is free. For more information on these costs, please refer to the website listed below, or call 626-2440.
-Contact a private hauler. In the Yellow Pages of your local telephone book under Garbage Removal, there are various vendors listed for hire.
