Overview

The City of Enid prides itself on maintaining a high level of service, while meeting all state environmental standards. As a subtitle "D" landfill, we are regulated and inspected by Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) and we are members of Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA). We are dedicated to serving our community, maintaining a clean environmental footprint, ensuring that we are providing a sustainable landfill for the years to come.

The City of Enid works hard to provide an efficient, clean, and safe landfill. Our landfill employees are well trained and help keep the surrounding areas clean by performing daily tasks. These tasks include waste compaction, daily cover, use of litter fences, debris cleanup, and watering our on-site roads.

Our landfill is permitted to accept and manage solid waste (non-liquids), non-hazardous industrial waste, and dirt/soil. Non-hazardous waste, such as soil, needs to be pre-approved prior to transport to the landfill.
