Loading...
Summary
Greene County staff reported customer counts and tonnages for Linton and Swiss City recycling sites, and confirmed a tire amnesty/cleanup event next month supported by a $3,000 health-department grant and a promised $10,000 tire grant.
Staff member Grant reported usage statistics for the county’s recycling sites and outlined plans for an upcoming tire-amnesty event.
Grant said the Linton site recorded 477 customers in March (an average of about 40 per day) and brought in roughly $1,600 during a 12-day reporting period; reported totals were 1.24 tons of recyclables and 2.27 tons of cardboard. Swiss City’s report covered 21 days: 937 customers, an average of about 45 per day, and $2,646 collected; Grant said some days were slow due to weather.
On tires, staff said the county’s tire inventory is nearly depleted after recent shipments. The health department provided a $3,000 grant this year, and staff reported Rick has assured the county of another $10,000 tire grant. Staff cautioned that grant funds cannot be spent until required signatures are complete, including state-level approvals that previously delayed payouts by several months.
The board confirmed a tire-amnesty/cleanup date next month and noted that tires from Linton are routed to Swiss City for processing. No formal motions beyond scheduling the event were recorded.
