EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: All Commercial Disposal Suspended

Jefferson County Sanitation is experiencing an overfull condition in the Class III/IV construction/demolition landfill.  We are actively pursuing a permit modification that increases our capacity.  This process could take 4 – 8 months to finalize.  Therefore, ALL COMMERCIAL DISPOSAL IS SUSPENDED.

Jefferson County citizens may continue to dispose Class III/IV waste in some small areas that have not reached capacity.  Citizen disposal can continue so long as space remains.  Citizen limits may be established to extend disposal ability.

Commercial entities may, as one option, choose to dispose of their waste at
