Shingles
As of October 1, 2008, contractors and commercial haulers will no longer be allowed to dispose of ANY amount of shingles, no matter how small,

Individual residents ONLY may continue to dispose of shingles in a separate area at the landfill site, however, the load can
not contain ANY materials other than shingles, nails, and tarpaper.
