LAKE MILLS — A Northern Iowa landfill operator has been hit with $30,000 in state penalties after Iowa environmental regulators documented repeated problems with uncovered waste and windblown garbage, including litter reaching neighboring property and a cattle shed.
Central Disposal Systems, Inc., which operates a municipal solid waste landfill at 21265 430th Street near Lake Mills, entered into three separate administrative consent orders with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Each carries a $10,000 penalty and requires the company to comply with Iowa solid waste laws and daily cover requirements.
The penalties concern violations tied to May 20, 2025, February 18, 2026 and February 20, 2026.
