Wyoming Modern Technologies will also be on site to take electronic waste such as computers, printers, cell phones, etc.

The town will also be collecting batteries and oil. The oil must be in small, closed containers. Residents may bring their oversized items to the fairgrounds for disposal.

New this year is the opportunity for town residents to receive a certificate good for a free dump at the landfill. The certificates are available at town hall and are good through April 30. The certificates are valid for town residents only and are limited to one pick-up load or 6 x 20 trailer load.
