FOR COMMERCIAL HAULERS OF CONSTRUCTION DEMOLITION DEBRIS

In an effort to monitor out-of-county waste, the Landfill will now be requiring that haulers disposing of construction and demolition debris have a building permit number or address of the location that they are hauling the above material from.

The Scalehouse Attendants will use the Charlotte County's Building Department permitting software to look up the permit to verify that the waste is from Charlotte County.

If the hauler does not have this information then they will be charged the out of county waste rate of $72.00 per ton.
