After my recent bathroom remodel I had a trailer full of shower stall parts and drywall. So this weekend I was off to the Dump. Like many people I don’t make it to the Ada county landfill very often. Many things haven’t changed, You still need to wear a hat to protect against seagull bombs, and the view is still awesome. But there are changes coming in April. here is a snip from adaweb.net
Disposal by Weight not Volume
Due to new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations regarding greenhouse gas emissions, all landfill waste must now be accepted by weight rather than volume. Beginning in early April 2011, ALL waste coming into the Ada County Landfill will be weighed using truck scales. Vehicles will drive over these scales, so the weight of their load can be calculated. This change will not affect rates since fees will still be assessed by volume.
Landfill Traffic Pattern
With the addition of scales at the landfill, all customers dropping off waste will notice a slight change in the traffic pattern as they are routed to where the scales are located. Vehicles will now be weighed entering and leaving the landfill, and customers will make payment after unloading their trash.
