Mission Statement:
Provide solid
waste disposal and recycling programs to county residents at a reasonable
cost while meeting state and federal guidelines.
The Solid Waste
Division of Public Works, funded entirely by user fees, is responsible
for processing solid waste materials which are then transferred
to an out-of-county landfill, buried on site at the C & D landfill,
or transferred to a recycling facility. A private contractor transfers
the solid waste to a state permitted landfill on a daily basis.
Appliances are disposed of by a third party. Those with freon are
separated and when the freon is properly evacuated, the appliances
are transported for disposal. Vehicle batteries are separated and
recycled. Brush/non-treated wood is separated and then burned in
accordance with state regulations. Tires are separated and hauled
to a monofill for recycling.
