The Powell and Clark Landfills were reverted to “Dry” or unlined Construction/Demolition (C&D) sites on September 18, 2012.  Household wastes will no longer be accepted at either site.

Use the Dry Landfill Rules sheet to see the new rules for acceptable and non-acceptable items.  For more technical questions, please visit the Wyoming DEQ rules and regulations website. 

The Park County Regional Landfill in Cody and the Powell Landfill both utilize a certified set of scales to weigh each delivery and the charge is based on this weight.  The landfill located in Clark will not have scales and is still basing the charge on volume.below

Landfill Procedures

  1. All vehicles are required to register with the Landfill Gate Attendant to receive delivery instructions for every load. All vehicles must stop when exiting.
  2. Please follow the gate attendant’s instructions. You must obey all disposal area signs. Penalties exist for improper trash placement. If you have a question please obtain help from one of the site employees. Operations and disposal areas at the facilities change often.  We are here to help.
  3. Obey speed limit signs especially while taking turns entering and exiting the scale.
  4. Yield to Landfill equipment.  You can see them better than they can see you.  Be cognizant of your surroundings. 
  5. During inclement weather please call to make sure areas of disposal are open.
  6. Motor vehicles for scrap are accepted but all the liquids must be drained from the vehicle.
  7. All waste brought to the landfill must be secured, covered or in a closed container. Any load arriving at the landfill gate not properly secured will be subject to a $25 surcharge or refusal to accept material for disposal.
  8. All vehicles must be safely unloaded and returned to gate before 5:00pm.
 

Hazardous Waste

It is unlawful to dispose any liquid, chemical or regulated hazardous material at a municipal landfill.

Special wastes such as Asbestos, Paint, Oil, Batteries, Refrigerators, Air Conditioners, or other hazardous materials require special handling. Please contact the Landfill Gate Attendants BEFORE delivering these items to a landfill.

Petroleum Contaminated Soil (PCS) is accepted at the Cody Landfill only. Fees are based on $20/ton with a minimum charge of $400. Prior approval with an Agreement for Proper Analytical Testing is Required. Contact the Landfill Office for proper procedures.

 

For continued protection of our landfills, random load inspections are also required by our governing agencies.  The US Environmental Protection Agency, E.P.A., R.C.R.A Sub Title “D” Procedures for excluding hazardous waste, regulatory overview (40 CFR, Part 258.20) requires these inspection and documentations of incoming loads to detect hazardous or PCB Waste.
