Industrial & Special Waste Examples Dusty Odiferous Voluminous Potentially regulated Caustic Examples of non-hazardous special waste include pollution control residues such as baghouse dust, wastewater or scrubber sludge, or spill clean-up debris. Special wastes can also include dusty or combustible wastes such as paint filters, grain flours or starches, blast media, or unused or off-spec non-hazardous chemical products. To ensure safety and compliance with our permit, the Agency reserves the right to declare any waste a "special waste" when special handling is needed. Generators and haulers must have prior written approval from the Agency before disposing of a special waste in the landfill. Non-Hazardous Liquid Waste The Solid Waste Agency has received approval from the Iowa DNR to embark on a liquids solidification pilot project. Site work is nearly complete, and we expect to begin receipt of non-hazardous liquid waste in February 2019. We are now receiving waste profiles and will be issuing approvals. Liquid wastes must be pre-approved as special waste prior to delivery. The profile form is available here. The Agency will be accepting approved liquid wastes from 9:00am – 1:00pm, Monday - Friday. No appointment is necessary. Liquid wastes can be delivered in tankers, roll-offs, or vacuum trucks. Approved liquid wastes generated in Linn County will be charged a fee of $75/ton + tax. We are excited to offer this service to area industries and haulers. Please don’t hesitate to call 319-377-5290, x105, or email if you have questions, or would like assistance with the profile process: sevans@solidwasteagency.org Solar Panels The Solid Waste Agency does not accept solar panels from businesses for landfill disposal or recycling. Solar panels are considered hazardous waste because the glass portion of the panels may contain lead, cadmium, or other RCRA metals. Business disposal options include contacting the manufacturer to see if they will accept end of life solar panels for proper disposal. There is also a recycling vendor in the Des Moines area taking solar panels for a fee.
