USDA Loans $36.5M to Southern Idaho Solid Waste District for Upgrades, Public Health

Richard Rush, USDA Rural Development Idaho State Director, announced that the department is loaning $36.5 million for the Southern Idaho Solid Waste District (SISW) to protect public health and upgrade safety measures.

“Landfills are no longer just a place to haul trash. They are now sophisticated facilities that not only take waste, but produce electricity from methane, deal in numerous chemical and water quality issues, and hire a large professional staff,” said Rush.
