Knox County recycling program readies River Rally, cameras and compost-site work
Summary
The county’s recycling manager updated commissioners on new motion-activated cameras at drop-off sites, plans to restore bins in Centerburg, the Sept. 19 River Rally volunteer cleanup and near-term composting options at Green Machine in Fredericktown.
Knox County’s recycling and litter-prevention staff told commissioners the department is expanding outreach and monitoring at drop-off sites, adding motion-activated still-image cameras and working with town trustees to improve problem sites such as Liberty Township and Centerburg.
Program manager Matt said the county is pursuing a new drop-off location tied to Centerburg’s street project and is encouraging the village to consider curbside recycling options. He also outlined event planning for the River Rally on Sept. 19, asking churches, scouts, schools and civic groups to register; the event typically draws about 100–125 volunteers.
On composting, Matt said contractor Green Machine in Fredericktown has finished stump grinding and is providing a temporary drop-off option while the county finalizes hours and site work; he cited an example informal fee of roughly $20 for a large truck bed at the private facility.
Matt described the program’s approach: "Sometimes cameras are inconsistent, you know? Right. Gotta have the right angle, right this, right that."
