One of the most important governmental functions is handled on a daily basis by Kearney Area Solid Waste Agency, which operates and maintains a landfill that meets local, state and federal guidelines for the proper disposal of waste material. The landfill operation started in 1994, the first Subtitle D landfill in the State of Nebraska. The landfill accepts all types of waste, including municipal, industrial, construction demolition and special waste (including asbestos), under the watchful eye of the Kearney Area Solid Waste Agency Board. City Council members, county officials and administrative staff make up the governing board. Kearney Area landfill serves approximately 37,000 people in Buffalo County and the surrounding area, with expected operation to last about 35 years (current rate of 37,000 tons annually). Funding is provided by "tipping" fees, now $32.50 per ton. |
