JONESBOROUGH – Washington County Mayor Joe Grandy promoted Lewis Haynie to the position of Solid Waste Director this week.

The position became vacant upon the recent retirement of Charles Baines. Haynie previously served as Solid Waste Foreman for the County overseeing maintenance, OSHA training and compliance.

“We are pleased to have someone with maintenance experience stepping into this role,” explained Mayor Grandy. “Operating five convenience centers and a tire recycling center requires someone who understands the mechanics of the solid waste and recycling business.”

Prior to joining Washington County, Haynie worked as a machinist for several local companies. He is a graduate of David Crockett High School and serves as the assistant fire chief for the Nolichucky Valley Volunteer Fire Department.

The County’s five convenience centers are open six days a week in Gray, Cash Hollow, Limestone, Lamar and Locust Mountain. The tire center is off Lancaster Road in the Harmony community. For more information regarding Solid Waste services, please visit washingtoncountytn.org.
