Contract expands recycling options

From Impact News, April 10, 2009...

After more than two years of negotiations, the Williamson County Commissioners signed a new landfill contract with Waste Management March 3. Included in the contract is a directive for the company to take over operations of the Williamson County Landfill Recycle Center and implement new recycling programs. The center has been operated by Williamson County since opening in 2005.

“[The plan] is intended to include additional types of recycling processes or facilities that would go out there, as well as a timeline for construction and installation of those facilities,” Jacobs said. “We are already starting to work at that internally to develop a plan as to what other recycling processes we can add, and we will be working with the county to get that approved.”
