Know Before You go…
We work with many different haulers and the general public, which means that trucks of all sizes are bringing in waste and recycling of all kinds. We do our best to provide you with the best service and in turn we hope that all our haulers and the public will acknowledge and abide by a few policies and regulations that we have established.

Traffic signs at the Solid Waste Department are meant to not only efficiently control the flow of vehicles, but to also keep all of us safe. The DNR requires that we keep traffic speed controlled as a means of controlling particulate matter and dust. Unfortunately some disregard stop signs, ignore speed limits, and/or pay little attention to the scale stop lights.
In order to enforce on-site traffic control policies, the Solid Waste Management Board approved an ordinance to require anyone driving at the site to comply with all traffic signs. Enforcement, by way of citation, is part of this ordinance. However, the goal is not to cite anyone, but to get compliance in order to ensure safety and that DNR rules are met.
Visitors to the site are expected to follow all traffic control signs. This is not a suggestion, it is a requirement. Safety first. Safety always.
