Recycle Rutherford on WGNS: May 2025
Meet the Committee That Deals with Solid Waste
Monday, April 28, 2025, 7:00 p.m.
Heritage Center, 225 W. College St. (just off the Square)
With the ongoing discussion and concern about the future of Middle Point Landfill
and how our county will deal with the ever-increasing amount of solid waste generated
by our growing community, citizens look to county leaders for action and solutions.
Specifically, the county commission committee that deals with this challenge is public
works. Recycle Rutherford invited members of the Rutherford County Public Works and
Planning Committee to participate in a Q&A panel discussion with pre-submitted
questions at our spring meeting on Monday, April 28, 2025, 7 p.m., at the Heritage
Center.
Committee members planning to attend include Phil Dodd, vice chair (District 16);
Joshua James (District 9), and Robert Peay (District 4). This will be an opportunity for
citizens to ask questions and gain a better understanding of the decision process in the
commission. Chair Anthony Johnson (District 11) cannot join us for our public meeting
but would like to attend a board meeting to keep in touch.
The duties of this committee include solid waste, recycling, planning, highways and
the workhouse. Coordination between this committee and the Planning Commission
pertains to future growth patterns, shifts in population, etc. Departments reporting
monthly to this committee are the Highway, Landfill, Planning Commission, and
recycling efforts and convenience centers. The committee is composed of seven
commissioners. Additional members to those listed above are Carl Boyd (District 12),
Mike Kusch (District 7), and Steve Pearcy (District 2). The committee meets monthly on
Tuesday after the first Monday at 5:30 p.m. in the Historic County Courthouse,
Commission Chamber on the second floor.
The public is invited to attend. In addition to parking in front of the Heritage Center,
additional parking is available across the street in the bank parking lot after hours.
