The Solid Waste Authority will not accept the materials outlined below at their Transfer Stations, due in part to damage sustained to Authority vehicles and equipment while loading and unloading these prohibited materials. The City, therefore, will not collect these items curbside.

Disposal of unacceptable materials is the responsibility of the tenant, property owner or contractor. Residents can contact the Solid Waste Authority's Delray Beach Transfer Station or the Dwyer Landfill for disposal rates and hours.

The Solid Waste Authority conducts "Tire Amnesty Days" for residents to dispose of tires on special dates throughout the year. Please contact the S.W.A. at (561) 930-2727 for dates and drop-off locations.

Most hazardous household products are intended to be used without any waste, but inevitably some products must be discarded. Always read the label carefully on unfamiliar items before you throw them away. Products labeled corrosive, flammable, toxic or reactive are household hazardous wastes and need to be disposed of by the resident at the North County Resource Recovery Facility or by appointment only on the 3rd Saturday of every month at the Delray Transfer Station (follow instructions below to make an appointment).

Common household batteries (alkaline, heavy duty) that are not rechargeable are not hazardous waste and can be disposed of in your garbage.
