Oconee County Commissioners To Hold Public Hearing On Tuesday On Updated Solid Waste Management Ordinance
It will be the first time citizens have a chance to comment on the completed ordinance.
The Oconee County Board of Commissioners Tuesday will give second reading to and hold a public hearing on a new Solid Waste Management Ordinance that combines two existing ordinances to regulate the disposal of litter and license the collection of residential and commercial waste in the county.
It will be the first time citizens have a chance to comment on the completed ordinance, since County Attorney Daniel Haygood made changes in the document after the Commission gave first reading to the ordinance on Jan. 5.
The county’s Keep Oconee County Beautiful Commission drafted the proposed changes to the county’s existing Solid Waste Management Ordinance
Haygood told the Commission on Jan. 5 that he combined that document with the Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Services Ordinance to create the single document before the Board on Tuesday.
He said at that first reading that he expected to make additional changes in the document under review that evening based on feedback from county staff.
