CURRENT LANDFILL WEATHER CONDITIONS [click here]

Weather conditions can occasionally effect landfill operations, especially in the case of high winds. High winds present an increased potential for wind-blown litter, which can result in nuisance problems for adjacent landowners, and can increase the operational costs of the landfill. For this reason, the Lyon County Regional Landfill has a closure policy for litter control. Please contact the Lyon County Environmental Administrator for more information on this policy.
