JCC approves purchase of dumpsters
Published February 12, 2009
The Jackson County Solid Waste Department will now be able to rent dumpsters to businesses and individuals.
The Jackson County Commission approved the purchase of over 50 dumpsters for a total price of $11,000 during Monday's meeting.
County Solid Waste Director Randy Webster said the dumpsters are used, but they are in good shape.
"It is a really good buy," Webster said.
Webster said the Florida company they are buying the dumpsters from agreed to throw in a few extra dumpsters at no cost.
Webster said the dumpsters will be a rental item that will be offered through the county's solid waste program. Webster said these are four and six yard rear loader dumpsters that would be of most benefit at businesses, such as restaurants, and for debris from small remodeling projects.
Sheila Washington, who is a board member of the Jackson County Multicultural Heritage Foundation, asked if the dumpsters will be nice looking or if they are in bad repair. Washington's group had just spoken to the commission about their upcoming community clean-up project.
Webster assured her they were in good condition, but he was prepared to make any necessary cosmetic repairs that were needed.
"When I put them out there, they are going to look good, or I will not put them out," Webster said.
