Wilson County approves $298,048 roll‑off truck after Solid Waste report

Wilson County solid-waste staff presented monthly operations numbers and received commission approval to purchase a new roll‑off truck.

Mister Randy, Solid Waste staff, reported landfill and recycling activity for October, including convenience-center usage and tipping fees. "On the second page, the landfill report...took in a 140 yards for revenue with 20,515," Randy said, and he also reported monthly tipping fees of "$41,007.18" and "we have 445 loads from the convenience centers for the month of October." He then asked the board for permission to purchase a new roll‑off truck. "Permission to purchase a new...truck. It's gonna be through Sourcewell bid O32424POC for $298,048. The funds are available on the solid waste budget new equipment line item," Randy said.

Commissioners asked whether the equipment account had sufficient funds; Commissioner Dowell later reported that "in the solid waste equipment line, there's $433,605.82 remaining after this one comes out." A motion to authorize the purchase was made, seconded, and carried by voice vote.

Commissioners also approved the solid-waste report by voice vote after brief questions about the monthly totals. No formal roll-call vote or named yeas/nays were recorded in the transcript.

The purchase is funded from the Solid Waste Department's equipment line item, per Randy's statement. The department will proceed under the Sourcewell bid O32424POC; no contract number beyond that was provided in the meeting record.

Next steps: procurement and invoicing were not discussed in detail in the meeting; staff did not provide a procurement timeline in the record.
