JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF)- Several sanitation department items were approved by county commissioners on Monday evening at the commission’s regular monthly meeting. The Sanitation Center on Towe String Road will start accepting tires attached to rims at a cost of $5 per wheel.

Previously the Sanitation Department accepted just tires at a cost of $1 per tire, but according to Sanitation Department Director David Adkins, “the center does have the capability of separating these tires from rims” and often has people bring tires on rims into the sanitation center.

Commissioners also approved the termination of a municipal trash interlocal agreement between the county and Jellico. The agreement was entered into in July of 2023. Beginning in July of 2024, Jellico “decided to contract with another provider for transportation and disposal.” 

Final sanitation business approved was for a Campbell County Sanitation Employee training agreement for attending truck driving school. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED-10/22/2024-6AM)
