TO: FULTON COUNTY LANDFILL PERMIT APPLICANTS
FROM: DAVID B. RHODES, DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: FULTON COUNTY LANDFILL USE PERMIT
Please read all of the enclosed information carefully. Your privilege to use the Fulton County
Sanitary Landfill is based on the rules and regulations specified in this application packet.
Fulton County has implemented a permit system for the Fulton County Sanitary Landfill. All
necessary application forms, as well as instructions for completing the forms, are enclosed.
The Fulton County Board of Supervisors adopted a local law, which is known as the “Fulton
County Solid Waste Management Law”. This local law establishes the framework for the
Department of Solid Waste to administer the permit process.
Upon approval, the permit will be valid until December 31
st
of each year. Renewal applications
must be filed a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date. If you desire to amend
your permit (i.e. adding a new truck) you must notify the Department of Solid Waste a minimum of
five (5) days in advance of use.
The permit application fee must be submitted with your completed application. Make checks
payable to the Fulton County Treasurer. Send completed forms and check to the Department of
Solid Waste, P.O. Box 28, Johnstown, NY, 12095.
Please note that the Solid Waste Management Law provides Fulton County with a mechanism to
revoke landfill privileges of users violating said local law.
If you have any questions concerning the above, contact the Department of Solid Waste, at the
above telephone number.
