More Space For Debris Dumping
KENTUCKY...
The Pinson Farm, located below the Pinson Family Bridge on U.S. 119, has been designated by the county and the state as a temporary staging area for flood survivors. Pike County Deputy Solid Waste Commissioner Mike Lyons applied for use of the property through the Kentucky Division of Waste Management and permission was
granted. “This is a staging area for people affected by the flood,” Lyons said. “Dumpsters are filling up, our trucks are filling up, conditions are so bad some places we can’t get in and out, so we are going to use this as a place where people can dump their garbage and debris, and we will take it from there to the landfill.”
Signs will be posted and a fence erected so the actual staging area will be defined. People can dump items at the area any time and all items can be placed in the dumpsite. “This is all part of the recovery process,” Pike County Judge-Executive Wayne T. Rutherford said. “It’s just another way to help those affected by the flood begin putting their lives back together.”
Another step in aiding flood victims is new hours for the Johns Creek, Robinson Creek and Belcher solid waste lots, which will now operate from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.
The staging area at Pinson Farm should be open Wednesday, July 28, 2010. The green dumpster is for household waste only, any other debris can be dumped onto the ground within the orange fence.
