| MWA's covered vehicle
policy requires all loads to be secured and/or tarped, eliminating
the risk of any part of the load escaping from the vehicle and littering
metro roadways.
Any vehicle arriving at the landfill with a load that is unsecured,
uncovered, or not totally enclosed will be charged an additional
fee ($100 for vehicles weighing over 25,000 pounds and $10 for all
other vehicles).
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has determined that color Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) (ex. color televisions and computer monitors) are hazardous materials. By law, businesses cannot dispose of hazardous waste in landfills. As a result, MWA will no longer permit color CRTS from commercial loads to be deposited in the landfill. Effective May 1, 2005, MWA will charge customers with commercial loads a recycling fee for each color CRT received at the landfill. The rates are:
- $25 per unit for a computer monitor or a television of 19 inches or less
- $75 for a television more than 19 inches. This includes console televisions.
Customers will continue to be charged a handling fee of $35 per incident if MWA staff move CRTs from the daily cell to a recycling staging area. If CRTs from commercial loads are discovered at the daily cell, customers can opt to move the items themselves and avoid the $35 per incident handling fee, but they will still be responsible for paying the per-unit recycling fee(s).
Payment: (required at the time
of service)
MWA accepts cash, personal
checks, business checks and VISA, MasterCard, American Express and
Discover credit cards.
Please
Note: Passenger vans and SUV's
with loads weighing up to 200 pounds will be charged the car rate
of $6. Loads weighing more than 200 pounds will be charged
the pickup truck minimum of $16.
