In a heated government meeting, community members expressed deep frustration over the handling of waste management issues, particularly targeting the actions of Waste Management and a local official, Beam Furr. One speaker emphasized the urgency of addressing waste reduction, stating, \"We have to do it without money, without resources, and we have to do it now.\" This sentiment reflects a growing impatience among residents who feel that their concerns have been ignored for too long.

Criticism was directed at several county commissioners, with calls for recusal due to perceived conflicts of interest, particularly highlighting campaign donations received from Waste Management. The speaker named commissioners Steve Gela, Nan Rich, Hazel Rogers, Michael Uddine, and incoming commissioner Alexandra Davis, questioning their ability to act impartially in waste management decisions.

Another resident, Becky Toole, recounted her efforts over the past decade to establish a solid waste committee, lamenting the lack of support from some cities in the county. She expressed disappointment in the current state of waste management and reiterated the need for accountability among local leaders.

The meeting underscored a community increasingly frustrated with the status quo, demanding immediate action and transparency in waste management practices.
