Recycling Committee
ECO’s Recycling Committee promotes city, county and regional recycling including curb-side pick-up, and advocacy towards improved recycling programs. As a result of ECO’s work, the county has now hired a pro-recycling staff; has a plan in place to improve the transfer station facilities; and has taken some important first steps in establishing progressive solid wastes policies, but the work has only begun. The committee educates the public and policymakers about best practices by speaking at Commission meetings, writing letters to the editor, holding public forums, and organizing eco-tours. People interested in recycling and waste reduction should come and visit the committee, which generally meets the second Tuesday of each month at 4:00 in the ECO conference room. Since meeting times may vary, please call ECO to confirm the current schedule … and join us!
Solid Waste Advisory Committee
In order to study and improve recycling and solid waste issues in Henderson County, a public Solid Waste Advisory Committee meets regularly on the third Monday of every other month at 4:00pm at 100 North King Street. Visitors are welcome. This committee is made up of stakeholders in solid waste, from county staff and commissioners to citizens and private waste haulers.
