Effective March 9, 2008 the Board of County Commissioners amended the Rules and Regulations for the use of solid waste disposal facilities to prohibit the disposal of municipal solid waste at the St. Andrews Landfill Facility by commercial / industrial waste haulers. As of February 15, no additional MSW capacity was available. Now, Watersaver Company has been asked to install a geomembrane liner at the facility to close the landfill.  Geomembranes are used to prohibit surface waters from infilltrating the structure. Once the lining process is completed, erosion control products will be installed to help vegetate the landfill cap with native grasses.  The county engineer has specified erosion control blankets to accomplish this feat.  The MDE approved contingency plan is in effect. Generally speaking, residents should handle most of their solid waste disposal needs at the six Convenience Centers. Residents may throw away up to four (4), 35 gallon trash bags, or equivalent, into the solid waste compactors. Loads in excess of this amount will be directed to the St. Andrews Landfill. The compactors cannot accept tires, white goods, yard waste or other bulky items such as furniture or mattresses. These items must also be brought to the landfill. Asbestos and special medical waste will not be accepted. All users of these facilities are requested to follow the directions of the Attendants on duty to help us safely segregate the wastes into the appropriate collection locations. The current St. Andrews Area C expansion was approved as a conditional use under CUAP # 86-1651.
