I had 2 straps on a load and they tried to charge me I had to pull up and show the guy I was secured. I only load up in my canopy now. Last time I was here they were dumping on the hill and wind blows trash for miles but somehow this is their priority. Edit: all scales open no half mile line last time that's great. A fence and open dumping with daily cover are not accomplishments though it's not even bare minimum. You're doing OK compared to Caton groundwater or Pasco trashfires though IG.

They are more strict than the state patrol. No matter what you have in the bed of your truck it must be strapped down and covered.

Landfill now deciding if they want to ticket you according to their personal opinion that is different employee to employee. Yes unsecured trash is unacceptable I’m not arguing that . But if you have bagged up and tied closed loose lawn materials on top of a small load of long stem flowers from a stone throw away depending on what employee is working get ready to have them ask you out of your vehicle to ticket you according to their personal opinion. Last load I had all lawn materials in bags tied closed with a net and was told because they can’t see it’s all lawn stuff I must pay for trash. So basically you can’t win. What a joke
