Disposal and permits in Traverse City
Where does the waste from Traverse City go?
Loads from Traverse City go to the nearest licensed transfer station or landfill in Grand Traverse County, and dump fees are charged by the ton. That is why the weight allowance matters more than the container size.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Traverse City?
On your own driveway you need nothing. In the public right-of-way, Traverse City requires a permit, usually a few days out. Most haulers will pull it for you if you ask.
What can't go in a dumpster?
No tires, batteries, paint, fuel, or appliances containing freon. Mattresses and box springs are accepted at most yards for a per-item fee. Concrete and dirt need their own dedicated container.
