State Approves Pike County's Five Year Solid Waste Plan
Pike County’s five-year solid waste plan, which has roots dating back to 1984, according to Pike Solid Waste Coordinator Mike Lyons, was recently given a green light in Frankfort.
Pike County Judge/Executive Wayne T. Rutherford commended the state in working with the county in seeing the 2008-2012 plan approved.
“We’re glad to have approval on the solid waste plan,” Rutherford said. “They’ve always been good to work with and always been very understanding when we have needed to amend it.”
County officials have initiated numerous efforts relating to solid waste, including, of course, countless PRIDE cleanups, recycling awareness and a focus on the county’s landfill at Ford Branch and options for future plans relating to the landfill.
The five-year plan itself also details strengths and places for improvement in relation to collection, disposal, open dumps and litter, enforcement, in addition to public participation and education initiatives.
