Industrial Solid Waste

The County Sanitary Landfill is permitted to accept mixed municipal solid waste and non-hazardous solid waste generated by an industry that meets the criteria as outlined in the County Industrial Solid Waste Mangement (PDF) (ISWMP). The County as the Landfill owner reserves the right to reject and not accept for disposal any waste that it deems may be harmful to public health and the environment and / or has not been properly characterized as a non-hazardous solid waste.

All industries are required to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the County that their industrial waste is not a hazard and will not have a deleterious effect on the Landfill operations or leachate treatability. The waste evaluation procedure is outlined in the ISWMP. The first step of the County's approval procedure will be the completion of a Waste Evaluation Form. This must be completed and signed by an authorized company representative.

Waste Prohibited from the County Landfill are:

  • Untreated sewage sludge, and septic tank pumping
  • Radioactive waste
