Solid Waste
The largest program in the Solid Waste Division is enforcement of the Jefferson County Solid Waste Management Ordinance. Inspections are conducted to determine if violations of the ordinance exist and remedial action is needed. Most violations are resolved quickly, with less than 1% requiring legal action. Copies of the Solid Waste Ordinance are available in our office. Solid waste complaints may be registered by phone at 636-797-5036. There are a number of approved residential solid waste haulers and transfer stations that can be contacted to make arrangements for the handling of residential solid waste.
