Linn County generates 160000 tons of garbage annually. Without a new site, one third would go to the Marion north landfill, leaving 50000 to 100000 tons for out of county disposal at Great River rates of 20 or 15 dollars per ton.

Fort Madison landfill praised despite March inspection issues
An Iowa DNR official says the Great River Region Waste Authority landfill near Fort Madison is well operated overall, despite March 21 citations for litter, uncovered C D materials, and a leachate piping leak. Leachate is treated at a nearby plant, and the site was an early adopter of liners and leachate collection.
