Can DEQ require me/my neighbor to clean up the trash on my/his property?
There are several factors to this question that only an inspector may be able to determine during a field inspection. However, Chapter 1, Section 1(l)(iv) of the Wyoming Solid Waste Rules and Regulations exempts the following from the solid waste permitting or waste management authorization: “The collection, storage and disposal of household wastes generated by a single family unit or household on their own property in such a manner that does not create a health hazard, public or private nuisance, or detriment to the environment.” Please contact Tim Link in Cheyenne at 307-777-7164, Bob Doctor in Casper at 307-473-3468, or Bob Breuer in Casper at 307-473-3454 for assistance.
