County reports success of first vessel turn‑in program: 40 boats collected
Summary
County staff reported 40 vessels were turned in during the county's first vessel/boat recycling event over a three-day period; county plans to explore making it an annual event.
Gabe, a department head, told the court the county's first-ever boat-vessel turn-in program collected 40 vessels during a three-day event and that partnering agencies — including the General Land Office and game wardens — were impressed by the turnout. Gabe said Chambers County collected only two vessels over the same period, underscoring local participation.
The judge and commissioners thanked staff and participants; staff said partners are on board to consider making the event annual and expressed appreciation for the publicity and community participation, particularly from the county's East End.
