Before you go
- Ask about the last entry time; scales often stop taking loads before closing.
- Secure everything in the truck bed; loose debris on the road can mean a fine.
- Most dumps turn away hazardous waste, so keep paint and chemicals out of the load.
- Bring a photo ID; many public sites ask for proof of address.
