Appling County commissioners note scrap‑tire event, landfill update and upcoming public events
Summary
Commissioners recorded EPD approval and reimbursement for a spring scrap‑tire event, discussed partial landfill sales and announced upcoming public events including a law enforcement expo and a Buddy Carter meet‑and‑greet.
Commissioners recorded several administrative updates and community announcements.
Environment and solid‑waste: Staff reported the county received approval from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) to host a scrap‑tire collection event at Lamphere. The likely date is Saturday, April 5, with a second potential week (April 5–11) and an alternate date in May if needed; staff said EPD approved reimbursement up to $31,000. The commission placed the event on the record and indicated it will proceed pending final logistics.
Landfill: Staff said the landfill is operating with partial sales approved; they are working with a surveyor to gather data points and plan future steps to avoid closure or other operational issues. No detailed schedule or financial information was presented.
Upcoming public events: Commissioners announced a law enforcement vs. Concord Expo at the Jag Center the following day with demonstrations and agency displays (8:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m.), and a Friends of Buddy Carter meet‑and‑greet scheduled for Thursday from 12:30–2 p.m. Commissioners invited members of the public to attend the announced events.
No votes were required for these updates; commissioners asked staff to continue logistical planning and to bring further details to the board as needed.
