The Mayor and Council usually approve payment of the landfill fees when citizens of the Town of Lovell take a load of garbage to the Landfill. Generally, it is approved in the Spring (April 15 to May 31st) and Fall (Oct 1st to November 30th). You have to have a valid address in Town Limits to qualify for a voucher.

If Spring or Fall cleanup was approved, you will need to load up your garbage and go to the Lovell Police Department located at 142 East 3rd Street to get a voucher to take to the Landfill so the Town will pay for you to dump your garbage. You must go to the Landfill on the same day you get the voucher.

Open burning within the town limits is prohibited by state statute.  A couple of times a year the Town of Lovell requests an open burn setback waiver from the Department of Environmental Quality. The dates we request are weekends only March 1 to May 31st and September 1st to November 30th.  Burning is allowed East of Shoshone Avenue on even calendar days on the weekend and West of Shoshone Avenue on odd calendar days on the weekend. You can only burn yard debris. You need to call the Lovell Police Department at 307-548-2215 before you burn.
