Public Landfill information ~ Cover Your Garbage Before Transporting

Effective April 18, 2008 - An Unsecured Load Service Fee of $10 will be charged to all customers who deliver uncovered loads to the landfill

On March 18, 2008 the Delta Junction City Council passed a resolution to charge an Unsecured Load Service Fee of $10 for all uncovered loads delivered to the landfill. The policy is effective April 18, 2008 and was established because of increased occurrences of garbage being scattered along roadsides, which is in violation of AS 46.06.080, and the Council does not wish to refuse service to anyone. The customer will be given a tarp and bungee cord for future transports.

AS 46.06.080 (b) A vehicle may not be driven or moved on a public highway or right-of-way unless it is constructed, loaded, or covered to prevent its load from dropping, sifting, leaking, or otherwise escaping from the vehicle. (c) A person who violates this section is guilty of a violation, and may be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $1,000.
