Landfill Facts

Dry Creek Landfill opened in 1974. In 1998 the unlined portion of the landfill was closed and covered. Prior to that, construction began on cell #2, a fully lined facility with an engineering design that exceeds restrictive environmental standards imposed by the U.S. EPA. All necessary permits were obtained to accept municipal solid waste.

The liner system includes layers of 60-mil-thick textured HDPE material, low permeability soil and a leachate (rain water that filters through the trash) collection and removal system. Each lined cell has approximately three years capacity and costs approximately $380,000 per acre. When a cell has reached capacity, it is covered with a system similar to the liner and costs approximately $350,000 per acre to close. The landfill has an active methane gas collection and control system in place and we have opened the landfill gas-to-energy facility.

Curbside Collection & Recycling

Rogue Disposal & Recycling offers weekly curbside garbage pickup throughout our service area using automated trucks with robotic collection arms so the driver rarely leaves the truck—saving time, as well as reducing the potential for injury.Guided by the driver, a robotic arm picks up and dumps a special roll-cart. Roll-carts offer excellent balance, stability and maneuverability. Automated garbage collection is fast, efficient and easier for both you and the driver.

We bill every other month for two months of service per billing cycle.Fill your roll cart with everyday household trash. Simply flip back the hinged lid and toss in your garbage.Since the cart is lifted and dumped using a robotic arm, everything must fit completely inside the container. Contents should be level to the top of the roll-cart when the lid is closed.To prevent trash from sticking to the sides of the roll-cart (and to keep it clean), try bagging your waste in plastic bags.

Shredding

Whether you’re looking to get rid of years of old files and unnecessary paperwork or are interested in the immediate, secure disposal of confidential and sensitive materials, Rogue Shred can help.Our on-site document shredding service offers a cost-effective and confidential alternative to office shredding and off-site shredding options.

On-site document shredding saves you money two ways.First, there’s no wasted personnel or employee hours, since we take care of everything for you. Second, there are no costly machines to buy.
