The Hardin County Fiscal Court approved two related resolutions on Jan. 13 that assign county solid‑waste responsibilities to Unified Disposal Partners Holdings, LLC.
Resolution 008 authorized assignment of the county’s solid‑waste franchise agreement (the company currently operating curbside service, Platform) to Unified Disposal Partners; the court voted to approve the assignment by roll call after a brief introduction by Judge Executive Keith Tall. Resolution 009 approved assignment of the intergovernmental support agreement (IGSA) that covers services to Fort Knox that reference Platform; Unified Disposal Partners will assume those obligations under the IGSA per the court’s vote.
Why it matters: The assignments transfer operational responsibility for curbside collection and Fort Knox support from Platform to Unified Disposal Partners. The change is administrative and contract‑based but affects service continuity for residents and Fort Knox operations.
Vote: Both resolutions were moved, seconded and approved by roll call; no yes/no split was recorded in the discussion minutes for either resolution.
Ending note: Judge Tall said members could comment before the vote; no additional questions were raised and both motions passed. The court indicated staff will proceed to implement the assignments.
