Goodhue County introduces new solid waste manager to oversee recycling center and HHW collections
Summary
Public works introduced Thompson as the county’s new solid waste manager; he previously worked at Stericycle and will oversee recycling center operations and household hazardous waste collections.
Public works staff introduced Goodhue County’s new solid waste manager, Thompson, at the June 3 county board meeting. County staff said Thompson will oversee recycling center operations and household hazardous waste (HHW) collections and will take on duties previously divided between the solid waste official and the recycling center coordinator.
Public works described Thompson’s background as including managerial roles in Ohio, most recently with Stericycle, where he led a team of drivers, managed a fleet of about 25 trucks and assisted medical facilities with disposal of medical hazardous waste. Thompson told the board he moved to Minnesota about a year ago to be near family and said he was “glad to be here” and “excited about Goodhue County.”
Board members welcomed Thompson. Public works staff said he will supervise the recycling center operations and manage HHW collection events; no formal vote or personnel action was recorded in the meeting transcript for this introduction.
