Solid-waste office to pilot event recycling containers; county weighs transfer-station options

May 20, 2026

Solid-waste staff will pilot a 15-unit recycling-container loan program for events (retainer required, roll‑out in June) and discussed impacts from the Gallatin transfer-station closure and potential outreach to a Milan station proposal; staff said Greenport permit was recently renewed.

The full story

Solid-waste staff described two operational items: a household-hazardous-waste RFP (responses due Feb. 5) and a recycling-container loan program. The pilot will make 15 containers available for week-long event loans with a deposit/retainer; staff said the program has MOU/contract materials reviewed by the county attorney and plans to roll the program out in June. When asked about a per-item cost, staff mentioned a figure of $77 during discussion.
