HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County commissioners approved a contract for work at the landfill during Tuesday’s agenda session.
The contract with Unruh Excavating of Moundridge totals $1,797,740. The scope of work consists of earthwork and composite landfill liner installation for a new cell that will encompass approximately seven acres of disposal area and 10 acres total disturbance area.
The cell construction is part of the landfill's master plan. Having the cell built before spring of 2023 will help alleviate blowing debris in the windy months of spring as it can go down into the cell to place waste.
This project was budgeted for the 2022 budget year and will be covered by the Solid Waste General Funds Budget.
