A $10 Unsecured Load Service Fee will be
charged to all customers who deliver uncovered loads to the landfill
COVER YOUR GARBAGE BEFORE
TRANSPORTING
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.
Landfill Policy: Acceptance of refrigerators, freezers
and air conditioners
Items containing pressurized refrigerant require State certified
removal of refrigerant prior to ultimate disposal.
The City will accept refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and
other items designed to utilize pressurized refrigerant at the
landfill under the following conditions:
1.) Any person (individual or commercial hauler) bringing such a
device to the landfill for ultimate disposal must declare the item at
the scale house upon entry.
2.) If the device does not have an affixed tag certifying that the
refrigerant was removed by a State certified person, the City will
accept the device upon payment of a disposal fee of $25.00.
3.) AND a weight fee (minimum weight fee is currently $5.)
4.) If the device's refrigerant has been removed, but has no tag
certifying that the refrigerant was removed by a State certified
person, the disposal fee is $25.00 plus the appropriate weight fee.
5.) The device may be weighed with other acceptable refuse delivered
by the hauler, but the device must be easily separable from the other
refuse.
6.) The hauler will be directed to deposit the device at a specific
location at the landfill. No other refuse may be deposited at that
spot, but must be first unloaded into the proper dumpster. The hauler
must unload the device and stand it neatly in the proper area (no
dropping or tossing).
The disposal fee is designed to cover the cost to the City of extra
handling and storage of the device, and to pay to have a commercial
State certified refrigerant remover properly remove the refrigerant
and certify the device. The City will then haul and dispose of the
device in the proper place in the landfill.
