Why does the City need to explore options for MSW disposal?

Significant growth in MSW and inert waste acceptance has occurred within the last 20 years. Notable contributing factors to this growth include acceptance of waste from outside the City of Minot beginning in the late 1990’s, increased economic activity, and the 2011 flood season. The existing MSW disposal facility is anticipated to reach its design capacity in approximately 2023.
