Other Accepted Waste

Tires

Since July 1, 1991, the land  disposal of waste tires in Iowa has been prohibited. It is also illegal to burn discarded tires. Discarded tires should be recycled. In most cases, automotive companies that sell and work on tires will accept used tires from the
public for a fee.

The Floyd-Mitchell-Chickasaw Landfill has a permit to accept tires for a fee). The tires are then sent to a tire recycling firm.

Construction & Demolition (C&D)

Although C & D materials are accepted at landfills and transfer stations in the area, there are  substantial cost savings available by separating the material.

* Metal should be recovered and sold to a salvage yard.

* Concrete, brick and mortar can go to approved rubble sites at a much lower cost than landfilling.

* Wood scraps can be used for craft projects, burned for energy in approved heating plants or may be shredded for animal bedding.

* Unpainted wood can also be shredded for mulch.

* Corrugated cardboard boxes which contained building products for shipment should be flattened and recycled.



**For further information, contact the Floyd-Mitchell-Chickasaw Landfill at (641) 982-4288 or 877-982-4288.**
