Both are free to attend for laypeople. Please don't come on behalf of a business, contractor or government agency; the county will not accept waste from these entities.

Automotive fluids composed of pure oil should be labeled as such. Ditto for fluids mixed with solvents or antifreeze.

All waste should be brought in original, non-leaking containers.
