Commission approves free yard‑waste drop‑off under 60 pounds for residents
Summary
The Solid Waste Commission voted unanimously to accept residential yard waste (leaves and grass) up to 60 pounds at no charge, citing reuse of the material for landfill dirt.
An employee of the Landfill spoke in favor of allowing residents to continue bringing yard waste at no cost because the material is reused on site.
Chairman Darren Batterson moved to approve accepting yard waste at the Landfill under 60 pounds at no charge per resident; the motion was seconded by Hoffman and passed unanimously. The minutes record the rationale offered by staff: leaves and grass are diverted for use as dirt at the Landfill.
The policy applies to residential drop‑offs only; the commission discussed how staff would distinguish residents from businesses when enforcing the limit but did not record specific enforcement procedures in the minutes.
