Establishes transportation requirements for trailers carrying bulk refuse
This bill requires companies hauling bulk trash to landfills in the state to use enclosed trailers and mandates that these trailers be cleaned after each delivery. It also establishes a system where the Department of Natural Resources will hire an external entity to inspect trucks entering and leaving permitted landfills to ensure compliance. While the rules apply to professional hauling companies, they explicitly exclude private citizens who are dumping their own personal waste. Hauling firms that violate these requirements face escalating fines, with the fourth offense resulting in a ban from entering any permitted landfill in the state.
