The Fremont County Solid Waste Disposal District (District) is offering assistance to the flood impacted residents of Fremont County through a fee waiver for flood impacted materials removed from homes within Fremont County extending through June 15, 2016.

In order to receive this fee waiver, you must meet the following criteria:

• You must be a self-hauler (i.e. this does not apply to any contractor, person working for hire, or commercial hauler).
• The materials must be delivered to the Lander Landfill (this opportunity does not exist at any other District facility).
• Delivery must take place during normal business hours (i.e. Tuesday through Saturday, from 8:00am until 5:00pm).
• All loads must be secured to the transport vehicle with ropes and/or tarps in a manner that does not allow any loss during transport.
• The fee waiver does not apply to standard waste (i.e. household trash, yard waste, etc.), only materials damaged due to the recent flooding.

Please contact us at your convenience with any questions at (307) 332-7040.

The Fremont County Solid Waste Disposal District will discontinue glass recycling effective July 1, 2016. The board of directors made this decision to control the increasing recycling program costs. It was acknowledged at the May 2016 board meeting the glass materials collected in the recycling program are crushed for landfill roads and mainly end up in the landfill.

Glass recycling began in Fremont County several years ago when Fremont County Road and Bridge had planned to use the glass materials in road projects. The process never came to fruition, though accepting glass in the recycling program remained. Discontinuing glass recycling at this time provides the opportunity for other portions of the recycling program to proceed.
