Responsibilities

The Engineering and Facilities Department is responsible for the administration, operation, and maintenance of the baler facility and landfill area. The Baler compacts waste into blocks which are then placed in the landfill. The landfill is operated in compliance with federal, state, and local regulations and guidelines.

Fees

Landfill operations are supported wholly by disposal fees. Most fees are assessed via garbage collection services so residents can bring many household items to the landfill for free, however, there are also some fees charged at the landfill.

Disposal Service Fees

Some disposal services are charged a fee, among them are:

• Commercial garbage
• Metals
• Residential and commercial construction and remodeling materials including lumber and fixtures (sinks, cabinets, etc.)
• Vehicles

Please see the Solid Waste section of our fee schedule for fee amounts.

Refund of Overpayment
