6 The Williamson County Landfill is a regional facility that provides safe and convenient disposal services for communities, businesses and industries serving Williamson County and surrounding areas. Also located at the facility is Hutto Recycling Center. The Williamson County Landfill and Hutto Recycling Center are owned by Williamson County and operated by Waste Management. The Williamson County Landfill is a Type I Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfill. The site fully complies with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations for municipal and solid waste landfills. The facility employs a multi-layer composite liner system that includes an engineered clay barrier and a 60-mil high-density polyethylene (HDPE) membrane to contain the waste deposited in it, and to manage both leachate and the landfill gas naturally produced by decomposition inside the waste mass. The landfill is permitted to accept non-hazardous household, commercial and special waste, as well as construction and demolition debris. The landfill does not accept regulated hazardous or radioactive waste. This facility is engineered with environmental protection systems that meet or exceed rigorous government regulations, and is subject to highlyregulated monitoring and reporting requirements.
