MANDATORY: You must still cover your truck or trailer on the way to the dump. Vehicles with unsecured or improperly covered loads will be charged the normal $10 fee.

Free residential dump days during Citywide Cleanup Week is for residential customers ONLY. Loads must be in a car, unmodified pickup trailer or trailer with the load not to exceed the size of a standard pickup bed (8 feet by 5.5 feet wide and 3 feet high). The load must be secured or covered to prevent spillage in transit and must not exceed 1,000 pounds. All loads exceeding this limit will be weighed and charged at the normal rate per ton. At the Central Transfer Station, that rate per ton is $60. At the Anchorage Regional Landfill, that rate is $50.

Free disposal includes five gallons of waste oil, one car battery and up to 40 pounds of household waste per day. There is a $20 charge for appliances containing Freon such as refrigerators or freezers.

Happy Dumping! And thank you thank you for taking pride in our city by supporting the 40th Annual Anchorage Chamber Citywide Cleanup. You are a Cleanup Hero!
