Lowndes County Commission: Provide solid waste and recycling collection centers.

The Issue

The County is responsible for protecting the health and safety of the public. The County Commission has made decisions to close all the county dump sites and license one out of state waste collection company with little, if any public input. There is concern among citizens of more trash being on roadways, more expense on the part of citizens, being forced to pay for a service the county should provide and not having choice in collection companies which may put small business owners out of business while backing a large out of state company.
