[QUOTE="Matt J, post: 833597, member: 4760"]So today I find out that if you live north of Hwy 20 Waste Management will pick up bulk household waste once a month.

Live south of Hwy 20?

Take it to the landfill yourself.

A curbside recycling program is what our area needs and has asked for over the years.

The county use to offer blue bags for recyclables...not sure they still do. The County also recycles at the transfer station, bales and markets it for sale. Recyclables are also recovered from the solid waste stream at the county landfill Material Recovery Facility prior to being loaded for transfer to Jackson County.

From everything I've heard, the blue-bag program is kaput. We used to do it. 
Now we just take our recyclables to one of the recycling trailers nearby when
we accumulate enough. I don't mind doing this at all. I actually prefer it to 
curbside. As for the "sorting" that occurs at the landfill, I suspect that's a feel-
good statement, but I could be wrong...

I'd like to be able to use a particular color bag to help with sorting at landfill if it would help.

Is it too much to expect our county to provide recycling program equal to standards of this century?

A good start would have been 20 weeks severance pay along with accrued vacation and sick pay would be a good start. He was about to be fired! and someone made him a sweetheart deal? My butt feels sore.

You're butt wouldn't be nearly as sore if  C Jones had gotten the shaft she wanted.

Cecilia Jones wanted him fired.

What I read is he wanted to give someone a raise. She said no. He did it anyway. She was going to fire him.

Danny Glidewell

If he had been fired without cause he would have received the severance package as well.  The only way to avoid that would require termination with cause.  With the way the BCC policies are written, is is not clear if "with cause" is possible because the Chairman of the Board approved the raise in question.

Bob Wells

Actually, Walton County charges a 1 cent sales tax for the garbage we receive. I think in the past the BCC has been able to use some of the those excess funds for other project not related to waste management. WCTA association may have a better understanding of that.
