WYTHE-BLAND PANEL DISCUSSES WASTE

The Wythe and Bland County Joint Public Service Authority met in closed session for several hours Monday night over how to handle solid waste.

One subject involved a proposed contract with Chambers Corp. to ship wastes out of the region for disposal in a private landfill. Willard Lester, attorney for the authority, is to meet with representatives from Chambers to discuss some parts of the contract that Lester questioned.

The other matter dealt with the location of a transfer station in Wythe County to bring waste for transportation by Chambers. The authority instructed Wythe County Administrator Billy Branson to meet with the owner of a potential site and to have the property appraised.

The authority also re-elected Andy Kegley as its chairman; Olin Armentrout, vice chairman; and Mark Munsey, treasurer.
