LANDFILL OPERATIONS
LANDFILL OPERATIONS
Landfill operations are available at Floyd-Mitchell-Chickasaw Landfill. The landfill is your source for disposal of hazardous materials, large items, remodeling waste, and electronics.

All vehicles must have secured loads that prevent any leakage, littering or run off of waste material or fluids. Tarps are to be used that are secured tightly to the load, water resistant and not torn. No exposed waste material should be visible. The landfill does not accept any yard waste, brush or trees.
