Nonhazardous Solid Waste Management and Landfill Capacity in Illinois: 2008 vii
Cover: Daily operations at Southern Illinois Regional Landfill, DeSoto, include checking random loads of waste for
unacceptable items. If loads include an item that has been banned by state law from being disposed of in a landfill,
the item is returned with the driver. In this picture, the site operator himself is visually checking the load before
agreeing to accept the load for disposal. Photo was taken by Don Terry, Inspector, Jackson County Health
Department, Murphysboro.
