§ 46-109. Facility rules for haulers.

(a)

Liability of the landfill department. All persons proceed onto the landfill at their own risk. The county landfill shall not be liable for errors or omissions of its contractors, persons using the solid waste facility, or other third persons in or about the solid waste facility.

(b)

Reservation of rights by county landfill.

(1)

Haulers' dumping privileges are limited to municipal, commercial, industrial, and institutional waste. The county landfill reserves the right to inspect any load coming into the landfill. The dumping of any material other than municipal, commercial, and institutional waste or other than that described as manifest, may result in a permanent revocation of dumping privileges. Liquid waste and hazardous waste are specifically prohibited. Residual waste, as defined, may, in the discretion of the county landfill, be allowed only if the hauler has submitted an application to the state department of natural resources, environmental protection division, and has received approval by environmental protection division for the residual waste.

(2)

If the county landfill determines that any material or waste has been deposited which is in violation of any law or the county's rules and regulations, then the county landfill may require the hauler to remove such waste or, in the alternative, the county landfill may remove it and charge hauler with the expense of removing the unauthorized waste. The hauler will remain responsible for disposal of such waste in an approved facility.

(3)

The county landfill has the right to require the hauler to file a manifest for each load of any type of solid waste deposited at the landfill showing the source of all solid waste and a statement signed by the hauler and/or the generator of the solid waste certifying that the solid waste is municipal or commercial waste and describing the contents and/or origin thereof.

(c)

Contracts. In all specifics, haulers and their agents and/or employees must abide by the terms of any and all contracts entered into between the county landfill and the hauler.

(d)

General rules.

(1)

Smoking and alcohol consumption is prohibited at the county landfill except where expressly permitted.

(2)

No person under the age of 18 years shall be permitted to enter the facility in any waste collection or disposal vehicle.

(3)

Loitering on and about the landfill is prohibited.

(4)

It is the duty and responsibility of the haulers and other persons using the county landfill to familiarize themselves with and to obey the rules of the facility as such rules may be charged or new rules adopted and posted on the premises.

(5)

All persons shall conduct themselves and operate their vehicles safely at all times and in all operations at the facility.

(6)

No unauthorized person shall have salvage rights to any material deposited at the landfill.

(7)

In order to prevent litter in and about the landfill, all loads of solid waste and roll-off boxes shall be covered with tarpaulins. The transporting of waste in hoppers of rear loading vehicles or on or about any vehicle except for the space designed to hold a solid waste load is prohibited.
