John Roosa, Administrator, Boone County Landfill and Recycling talks about landfill operations and dealing with the amount of material coming into the landfill. Story County and Ames construction and demolition waste had previously been diverted for a year but are back to bring material to the landfill. At the same time, more construction activity in Boone County and the rest of the service area continues to increase similar material.
