Disposal and permits in Fort Madison
Where does the waste from Fort Madison go?
Loads from Fort Madison go to the nearest licensed transfer station or landfill in Lee County, and dump fees are charged by the ton. That is why the weight allowance matters more than the container size.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Fort Madison?
On your own driveway you need nothing. In the public right-of-way, Fort Madison requires a permit, usually a few days out. Most haulers will pull it for you if you ask.
What can't go in a dumpster?
No tires, batteries, paint, fuel, or appliances containing freon. Mattresses and box springs are accepted at most yards for a per-item fee. Concrete and dirt need their own dedicated container.
