The Southern Idaho Solid Waste District (District) has adopted a policy requiring that all commercial loads delivered to SISW facilities be generated solely from one county. The District defines a mixed county load as a commercial load containing Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) from more than one county. If a mixed county load is dumped at an SISW facility, SISW employees and commercial haulers should know the following:

1. It is the hauler’s responsibility to ensure that each load contains MSW from only one county. If it does not, it is the hauler’s responsibility to alert SISW staff.
2. At a transfer station only; if a commercial hauler alerts staff of a mixed county load prior to disposal, the entire load will be assessed an out-of-county fee and not the mixed county load fee.
3. Milner Butte Landfill will charge a mixed county load fee for each mixed county load encountered.
4. The District may perform inspections on suspect loads and will perform Random Load Inspections at all District facilities.
5. The District has adopted a zero-tolerance policy for all mixed county loads.
6. If a mixed county load is discovered by an SISW employee, that load will be charged a $500.00 mixed county load fee for the first offense.
7. The mixed county load fee will escalate in increments of $500.00 per incident. (i.e. Second offense will be $1,000.00)
8. The escalated fee is not reset each year and is not capped.
9. Mixed County Load fees will be charged in addition to the Out-of-County disposal fee. 
10. The Out-of-County disposal fee will be charged for the entire load.
11. A list should be kept on-site that includes the name of the commercial hauler and the number of mixed county load fees that have been charged.
