The
Tomoka Landfill, just west
of Daytona Beach, is the county's only permitted landfill. It receives
all solid waste generated in Volusia County. This 3,400-acre landfill
area has a life expectancy to 2030. About 200 acres of this land have
been earmarked for recycling efforts.
West Volusia material is
brought to the West Volusia Transfer Station in DeLand, then hauled to
the Tomoka Landfill by tractor trailer for disposal.
The Solid Waste Division is
one of county government's enterprise operations. This means there are
no local property tax dollars allocated to operate solid waste. Instead,
the users pay for the operation of the disposal activities through a fee
structure. The rate for garbage disposal is $34 per ton. Yard waste is
$23 per ton. These are among the lowest rates in Florida.
Signs clearly posted at
facility entrances advise residents what materials are accepted. County
personnel keep a close watch on all waste materials being deposited.
