The BHC Landfill is replacing its scale and modifying its scale house to improve customer safety and improve efficiencies. At this time, we request patience from our customers as the wait times may increase in the short term. To avoid the long lines we suggest that residential and self-haulers of small loads contract with a commercial hauler, utilize your communities bulky item or pay as you throw program, or the Cedar Falls Transfer Station as an option to avoid the longer than usual wait times. This project is anticipated to last until March of 2026. For any questions or comments please contact the Administrator.
