Boundary County Public Information
Boundary County started the site certification
for the Boundary County Municipal Landfill in
1995. Through this process Boundary County fell
under the small community exemption. Through
this exemption the County can bury twenty tons
of refuse a day which is averaged annually.
This site certification was through the
Panhandle Health District and the Department of
Environmental Quality and included the use of
forty total acres of land.
Our landfill is open seven days a week, 7:30 AM
to 6 PM. The three monitored collection sites in
the County are open seven days a week, 9 AM to 5
PM.
All sites are closed for the ten National
Holidays
All locations have separation systems for wood,
metal, furniture, recycling, and general
household garbage. Please be involved and
separate these items into the appropriate
location.
The current status and plan for the Boundary
County Municipal Landfill is to go forward with
reductions of disposal material going into the
landfill by use of recycling and separation of
waste products.
The residents in Boundary County are solely
responsible for the longevity of the landfill by
supporting recycling and separation of waste and
have done a good job doing their part at the
collection sites.
Going forward we can all do a little better on
our recycling and separation of waste to insure
the continued use of the Boundary County
Municipal Landfill, remember it’s not all just
garbage.
If you have any questions please call
208-267-3812 for the Boundary County Solid Waste
Department. |
