All loads entering the landfill must be covered and secured. All vehicles disposing of waste must pay a tipping fee. Upon entering the landfill, each vehicle must stop at the scale house to be weighed before being directed to the proper location for disposal. All loads are subject to random screening to prevent landfill or groundwater contamination by illegal or hazardous materials. Waste transported in pick-up trucks or on small trailers must be confined within the bed of the truck/trailer. If the sides of a pick-up truck are built up to increase load capacity, the loads will be weighed in and out and charged the per ton rate. Scale operators will determine whether a load is in compliance with federal, state and local guidelines.
