Wilson County Urban Type Public Facilties Board - October 2026

The Wilson County Urban Type Public Facilities Board met on October 1, 2026. The Solid Waste Director reported that landfill revenue was about $13,000 lower than the same period last year; recycling volume was down nearly 40 tons, while recycling revenue increased by $3,900 due to higher prices. A state-funded household hazardous-waste collection was scheduled at the fairgrounds, with the County responsible for advertising and staff costs. The Board approved a list of surplus landfill items for disposition, with discussion of selling items at the County’s December 3 auction and whether scrap metal should instead be recycled. The precise direction for the scrap metal was not clear in the transcript. No contract award or new procurement was identified.

The Solid Waste Director also reported a planned meeting with TDEC, County representatives, and the engineering firm about a water issue at the landfill; an aerator was expected to help, and ponds had been contained on County property. The Stormwater report noted there were no comments during the 30-day public-comment period and described a Bluebird Road grading issue involving a required engineering plan submitted after work began. The Board approved the departmental reports and arranged for the next Stormwater report to be submitted by email.
