Long term commitment/planning.

Not for profit.

Vernon County is strong financially.

Open books.

Local control in all decision making/local accountability.

Employment opportunities/employees are part of this community.

Centrally located facilities/level playing field for haulers using County Landfill (net result has been lower costs for municipalities & businesses).

Maintaining Competition (most of the private landfills in Wisconsin are controlled by two large firms).

Quality control - we do our own construction and processing.

Protect public health and safeguard the environment (Land filling is the last choice of disposal options - we try not to fill the County Landfills even though it is our main source of revenue)

Conserve and recover material and energy resources.

We understand local citizen needs because we live here.

Currently self funded - no County levy since 1993

Vernon County Solid Waste/Recycling Department has received DNR approval of a vertical expansion of your sanitary landfill to meet the long term diposal needs of all citizens and businesses. Your comments and concerns would be greatly appreciated at any time.

We hope to remain your disposal service provider and partner for the long run in this ever changing market place.

The Vernon County Solid Waste Management Committee and staff thank you for your continued support and wish you and your family the very best of everything in the future.
