Audit Yields Positive Results for Hunter Ferrell Landfill

The Hunter Ferrell Landfill in Irving received praise for its overall appearance and record-keeping practices during a recent audit conducted by the Lonestar Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America’s (Tx SWANA) Safety, Management and Resource Team (SMART).

“The Hunter Ferrell Landfill is now and has historically been a well-operated facility,” said Brenda Haney, solid waste services director. “This compliance review proves that. I’m honored to be professionally associated with this site and I take pride in working with the dedicated and hard-working staff at the landfill.”
