Covered Load Policy
To prevent any type of waste from blowing onto area roadways and into ditches, Harrison County adopted a policy( RESOLUTION 96-11 IN NOVEMBER 1996 ) that all loads delivered to the Landfill must be covered securely, even if waste is in bags or containers.
Trucks and trailers must also have a tailgate. The only exception to the this policy is that brush can be securely tied instead of being covered. This covered load policy conforms to the STATE OF IOWA STATUTE 321.460:
A vehicle shall not be driven or moved on any highway, by any person, unless such vehicle is so constructed or loaded or the load securely covered, as to prevent any of its load from dropping, sifting, leaking, or otherwise escaping, or its load covering, from dropping from the vehicle. Failure to comply with this covered load policy will result in a $10.00 fine being assessed.(NO EXCEPTIONS)

Completed and Ongoing EMS Projects
Solar Array and New Heat Pump:
In the first year our solar array produced 35,354 kWh. Paid in part by an IDNR grant and the Dean J. King Family Foundation.
Hefty ReNew Program:
This program expanded the our plastic recycling by including #5 plastic and plastic film
We have recovered over 10 ton of this material since beginning the program.
New Recycling Containers and Sorting Machine:
Our new containers have a designated compartment for plastic bags. Located in Missouri Valley, Logan, Woodbine, & Dunlap.
Paid for in part by an IDNR grant
Website Design:
We created our website to help our customers find information and education regarding the HCLC.
Paid for in part by an IDRN grant.
Mobile Loading Dock:
Our loading dock allows us to load semi trailers with our recycling. Previously we had to haul the material in small loads. Making 175 trips a year to Omaha. We have cut the number of trips over 75%
Lithium Ion Battery Recycling Program:
Li-Ion batteries pose a fire threat at the HCLC. We purchased buckets that are placed through out the county for recycling. Sites – Country Hardware, Logan – City Hall, Missouri Valley – REC, Woodbine – Do It Best, Dunlap – City Hall, Mondamin, The landfill scale house.
To date we have collected more than 400 lbs of li-Ion batteries
Wood Waste Diversion Program:
We began diverting “clean” lumber from out landfill. The lumber can have nails, screws or small hardware. We have a grinder come on site twice a year to grind the material that is later used for beneficial use or livestock bedding.
To date we have kept 150 tons of wood waste from the landfill.
