15.04.010 Service description – Self-haul to Horn Rapids Landfill.
The city of Richland owns and operates the Horn Rapids Landfill. Due to the operation of Benton County’s solid waste services at the Horn Rapids Landfill, customers may dispose of used motor oil, antifreeze, cooking oil, automotive batteries, rechargeable batteries, propane tanks and canisters at a designated location at the landfill. Disposal of these materials is subject to the availability of Benton County solid waste services and may be suspended by the city due to the unavailability of Benton County services.
Vehicles entering the landfill must have their load tied, covered or otherwise secured within the vehicle. This does not apply to vehicles carrying a load of dirt, sand or gravel; provided, that six inches of freeboard is maintained within the bed carrying the load. [Ord. 38-21 § 1].
