Resident urges Greene County to restart hazardous-waste drop-off program
Summary
A Greene County resident asked the board to create at least an annual hazardous-waste disposal day after surrounding communities stopped accepting the county's hazardous waste; the resident said prior attempts were too costly and the lack of options puts residents and the county at risk.
A long-term resident told the Board of Supervisors that Greene County lacks a means for citizens to dispose of household hazardous waste and urged the county to restart an annual collection day at the recycle center. The speaker said surrounding communities no longer accept Greene County's hazardous waste and that prior attempts to host a collection were cost-prohibitive.
The speaker asked the board to take steps to enable an annual program to reduce resident risk and county liability; county staff acknowledged the concern and said they would look into options to enable a program or regional partnership.
