City official addresses misinformation about free dump days and road improvements

Valley County officials are addressing community concerns regarding waste management after discussions during the Board of County Commissioners meeting on April 14, 2025. A key topic was the absence of scheduled free dump days, which has sparked considerable conversation on social media. Commissioners emphasized the need for clear communication to the public, with plans to ensure that accurate information is disseminated through local newspapers.

Commissioner Doug indicated that he would reach out to staff member Mackenzie to confirm the lack of free dump dates and to provide updates on road improvements and other relevant projects. The board acknowledged the importance of keeping residents informed about these developments to avoid confusion.

Additionally, the commissioners discussed the budget for household hazardous waste disposal, noting that while there is a $50 allocation for this year, it may not be sufficient to cover all anticipated costs. This highlights ongoing challenges in managing waste services effectively within the county.

The meeting underscored the county's commitment to transparency and proactive communication with residents, ensuring that they are well-informed about waste management services and related initiatives. As the county moves forward, officials are focused on enhancing community engagement and addressing public concerns.
