Solid Waste Dept. is continually looking for ways to better handle your trash and your recyclables. We have just received approval to proceed with a new C & D site.  Our own employees, at no additional cost to Lincoln County residents will construct the new C & D landfill.    All ground water testing and leachate water testing is sampled regularly and shows no contamination in our groundwater at this time.

Lincoln County's population is growing every day. Our Solid Waste and Recycling Program has expanded services to keep up with this growth. We are continually improving our handling and hauling strategies, therefore, increasing our efficiency and productivity.  

The Lincoln County Landfill is divided into designated areas for materials that must be separated and/or recycled.

Household Trash  There is a 7 acre phase lined for  household trash and any mixed loads of trash that have not been separated.

Construction Debris is buried in a designated area of the Landfill.  This material is inert and should not cause ground water contamination. (Such as building materials)

White Goods (appliances) are stored in a separate area until 100+ tons are accumulated.  Then a private company is contacted to remove the Freon and take the White Goods to a scrap steel mill.

Tires are also placed in a separate area. The tire must be off the rim.  A private company is contracted to collect these tires whenever needed.  Tires are placed in a monofil for future reuse as technology improves.

Yard Waste is another separate area of the landfill, which accepts brush, limbs and pallets.  This material is ground and stockpiled, then we have a mulch giveaway.
