Solid waste staff report recycling revenue and landfill disposal figures
Summary
Solid waste staff reported $17,234.25 in recycling revenue and about 111.01 recycled tons for the month, and noted landfill disposal expenses of $57,091.89 for 998.11 tons; staff also described outreach advertising and collaboration with the sheriff's department.
Solid waste staff (Diane, speaker S4) told the committee the department added a final digital advertisement for the year to promote the county's 'Adopt a Highway' program and reported positive public response to ads placed near Kroger stores.
Diane gave monthly figures: recycling revenue of $17,234.25 and recycled tonnage of approximately 111.01 tons (including an extra metal check that increased totals). She also reported landfill disposal expenses of $57,091.89 with 998.11 tons taken to the landfill. Diane said the El Beto Center continues to get construction waste and pallets despite rules limiting accepted material to small household projects. She thanked the sheriff's department for assisting the litter crew.
Committee members asked questions and thanked solid waste staff for their efforts. No formal action was taken on the report; routine matters were approved by voice vote as part of the monthly reports.
