Integrated Solid Waste & Recycling

UPDATE ON TRASH TRANSFER STATION IMROVEMENTS

Teton County's landfill project appeared on the SPET Ballot for the November 6th election. It was approved by the voters. The proposition provides funding for an improved landfill cap at the old Horsethief Canyon Landfill, as well as improvements to solid waste and composting facilities. Although waste has not been buried at Horsethief Canyon Landfill since 1989, groundwater contamination has been discovered at the site and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality is requiring Teton County to construct an improved landfill cap and surface water diversion system to improve the condition of the goundwater under the site. Teton County Integrated Solid Waste and Recycling is in the early stages of planning this updated facility.
