County to reopen public comment on draft solid waste plan; spring waste events scheduled
Mar 9, 2026
Staff said the county must reopen the draft local solid waste management plan comment period after state guidance on counting public‑comment days; the new period will run March 19–May 3 and include a public presentation April 9 in Phelps. Staff also announced household hazardous waste and mattress collection events with registration opening March 30.

County staff told the committee that the state flagged a technical problem with the county's earlier public outreach for the draft local solid waste management plan: the way the first day of the public comment period was counted did not comply with regulations. As a result, the county will open a second public comment period from March 19 through May 3 and will hold another public presentation in Phelps on April 9.
