Q. Do my landfill loads need to be secured?
All loads arriving at the Landfill must be completely covered by a tarp or other means to prevent debris from falling from the vehicle en route to the facility. This includes bagged waste or containers unless the lids are secured with a strap. Appliances and large items can be secured with a strap.
Loads not properly covered or secured will incur an unsecured load fee of $20.00. Sorry, there are no exceptions!
Q. Do you accept household hazardous materials?
No hazardous materials are accepted at the Mahaska County Landfill, but you can call 641-683-0685 to schedule an appointment with the Ottumwa Recycling Center. Read more details on our Household Hazardous Materials page.
