County Health Board Eyes Sanitary Dumps and Franchised Waste Control
The county health department would supervise dumps converted to sanitary landfills and oversee solid waste collectors in unincorporated areas. Five sanitary districts would serve about 1,600 homes each, with a study under way for a multi county garbage collection plan for Morgan Lawrence and Cullman to be finished in a couple of months. Private franchises may regulate collection without extra county cost and could be self supporting. The board previously called solid waste disposal a growing public health concern and vowed to stop open burning and unauthorized roadside dumping.
