Covered Load Policy
To prevent any type of waste from blowing onto area roadways and into ditches, Harrison County adopted a policy (RESOLUTION 96-11 IN NOVEMBER 1996) that all loads delivered to the Landfill must be covered securely, even if waste is in bags or containers. Trucks and trailers must also have a tailgate. The only exception to the this policy is that brush can be securely tied instead of being covered.
This covered load policy conforms to the STATE OF IOWA STATUTE 321.460:
A vehicle shall not be driven or moved on any highway, by any person, unless such vehicle is so constructed or loaded or the load securely covered, as to prevent any of its load from dropping, sifting, leaking, or otherwise escaping, or its load covering, from dropping from the vehicle.
Failure to comply with this covered load policy
will result in a $10.00 fine being assessed.
