Disposal Plan
Heard Here
The Committee on Solid
Waste Disposal Programs
organized last month met on
March 17 to hear reports of
sub-committee chairmen and
to continue outlining work of
the members. Lawrence
Burwell, interim chairman of
the Committee on Solid Waste
Disposal and director of the
Madison County Health
Department, presided.
A Solid Waste Disposal Plan
will be presented to the
Madison County Board of
Commissioners in company
with officials of the towns in
Madison County at an early
date.
A slide series with narration
is being prepared to use
throughout the county in
publicizing need and action for
disposing of waste under
approved methods.
Mr. Burwell reported on the
Conference on Solid Waste
Disposal held in Washington,
D. C. in March. Many types of
programs have been
developed, but problems of
implementing them are of
national concern. Each
community will have the
responsibility of initiating the
plan most accommodating to
local needs.
The Madison County
Committee will not meet
again until a plan of action
approved by the County
Commissioners can be
presented.
