The Commission received the Innovative Solid Waste Project Award from the the Iowa Society of Solid Waste Operations in October for its efforts to reduce its environmental impact on the community by collecting its landfill gas, upgrading it to bio gas for use as a vehicle fuel. In 2019, the Commission began this project to address future regulatory compliance, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, generate revenue for the Commission and expand economic growth in the area. This action saves the Commission millions of dollars in future construction and maintenance expenses.
The Black Hawk County Landfill will be closed on Thursday, November 28th for Thanksgiving, Wednesday, December 25th for Christmas, and Wednesday, January 1 for New Years day. Early closures at 12:30 will be on Tuesday, December 24th and Tuesday, December 30th.
