Summary
Council approved staff’s recommendation to award a yard-waste grinding contract to Lee County Composting and Recycling LLC for $130,000 to meet state landfill management requirements.
Kershaw County Council on Jan. 14 approved staff’s recommendation to award a yard-waste grinding contract to Lee County Composting and Recycling LLC for $130,000 to provide grinding services at the county landfill.
County staff said the service is required by state environmental authorities to manage yard debris the county receives at Park Road landfill. The contractor will spend a few weeks grinding accumulated yard waste into mulch to manage volume and maintain landfill operations.
Councilman Shoemake moved to accept the Lee County bid; Councilman Tucker seconded. The clerk recorded the vote as unanimous among those present.
Why it matters: yard-waste grinding is a mandated operational service for the landfill; contracting the work ensures regulatory compliance and continued capacity for county solid-waste operations.
Next steps: staff will finalize the contract and schedule the grind operations.
