Annual Meeting
Monday, May 2, 7:00 p.m.Bishop Wagener is Rutherford County’s new solid waste director, and you can hear him speak and get to know him on May 2, 2022, 7:00 p.m., at Recycle Rutherford’s annual meeting. The meeting will be a Facebook Live event, but it isn’t necessary to be a Facebook user to attend and view. Click on the link at www.recyclerutherford.org
Wagener joined the county last fall on November 22, replacing Mac Nolen, who had been in that position since 2008. The solid waste director is a key position in the county, overseeing the Solid Waste Department and thus county recycling and convenience centers and the county landfill and working with the Public Works Committee on solutions to the issues our growing county faces with Middle Point Landfill, which is projected to close in less than seven years.
The new director brings considerable experience and expertise to the position. For the past three years, Wagener worked for the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), Division of Solid Waste Management, in the Materials Management Programs, according to the announcement of his hiring. In his TDEC role, he provided technical assistance to local county governments, including Rutherford County, to improve waste reduction and recycling capabilities.
“I am dedicated to leading the county toward a future that includes safe, friendly, and quality disposal, while maximizing waste reduction and recycling for my neighbors,” Wagener stated.
He has more than 25 years’ experience in commercial and residential construction. He earned a B.S. degree in Geology and in 2018, a Master of Science in Professional Sciences with a concentration in Environmental Geosystems, both from Middle Tennessee State University.
Viewers can ask questions in the “chat” during the program. Or if you prefer, you can submit a question prior to the meeting to recyclerutherford@yahoo.com; send by midnight Sunday, May 1, to be included
