Estill County pursues dump grants and reports on waste services and tire amnesty
Summary
County staff said they are applying for pilot dump grants, planning cleanup work and a tire-amnesty event in October, and reported issuing about 100 waste-hauler permits, distributing roughly 375 dump vouchers and collecting 351 bags of trash and 27 tires in recent operations.
Public-works staff told the court the county is applying for a set of dump grants to pilot cleanup efforts, including a cleanup behind the county garage and follow-up inspections at other sites.
Staff described ongoing operations and recent outputs: "We've issued about a hundred waste hauler permits," one staff member said, and "We've given out... about 375 dump vouchers." The same presenter gave a tally of recent pickups: "We picked up 351 bags of trash, 27 tires, plus a lot of other random stuff this month." Staff said a tire-amnesty contract will be advertised in October and that outreach will appear in local paper and on Facebook.
Officials also noted two new local residential trash services had started in the area; staff said information about those vendors is available on social media. No formal votes on these programs were recorded in the transcript; staff described operational plans and upcoming advertising for the tire-amnesty event.
