Local contractors press county on landfill restrictions; engineer cites ADEM permit

Three local contractors told the Geneva County Commission that current landfill rules are imposing additional costs. Robby Brackin said contractors who have used the landfill for years object to a list of prohibited items — treated wood, paper products including cardboard, Styrofoam and light bulbs — and to the prohibition on accepting debris from outside the county. “It is an additional cost to contractors if they must go out of the County to other Landfills,” Brackin said.
