County proposes up to $1,000 incentive to recycle junk mobile homes, subject to DEQ approval
Summary
A county staff member told commissioners the county can allocate up to 20% of state junk-vehicle funds to pay residents up to $1,000 to recycle junk mobile homes; the program will require Department of Environmental Quality approval and receipts for reimbursement.
A county staff member outlined a proposed incentive program to reimburse residents for costs to recycle junk mobile homes. "This will be an incentive of up to 1000 dollars that people can gain in order for recycling the cost associated with recycling junk mobile homes," the staff member said, adding that the county may allocate up to 20% of state-provided junk-vehicle funds toward this disposal program.
The staff member said participants would need to provide receipts to receive reimbursement and that the program requires approval from the Department of Environmental Quality. Commissioners indicated assent by voice vote (the transcript records multiple "aye" responses). The board did not provide a detailed budget line item in the transcript; DEQ approval and program details are outstanding implementation steps.
