Supervisor directs 30‑day review of Four Seasons Recycling after residents report dozens of punctured tires on Farmbrook Road
Summary
Supervisor Collins moved that Carroll County staff work with VDOT and the Virginia State Police to evaluate and enforce load‑securement laws at Four Seasons Recycling, require mandatory daily cleanup, and ask the county attorney to review enforcement options; the board approved the directive and requested a report within 30 days.
Supervisor Collins told the board that residents on Farmbrook Road have reported repeated damage associated with loads coming to or leaving a nearby recycling center, saying two households alone experienced 76 punctured tires over two years and dozens of other flats had been reported. He moved that the board direct staff to work with the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Virginia State Police to evaluate and enforce load‑securement laws on Farmbrook Road, engage the owner of Four Seasons Recycling to establish mandatory daily road cleanup (with consideration of twice‑daily service), and request that the county attorney review possible law‑enforcement or penalty options. Collins asked for a 30‑day report back.
Board members and staff discussed enforcement practicalities, past use of magnets and street sweepers, and possible statutory options; planning counsel said he could point to statutes that may be helpful. The board voted in favor of the motion.
The motion asks staff to identify remedies and enforcement measures, not to adopt fines or penalties at this meeting; the county attorney and other staff were requested to report proposed solutions within 30 days.
