Collection System Weaknesses

• All NKSWMA Solid Waste Ordinances have not been updated for some time. All need to be updated to reflect the progression of the county.

• The Annual Report relies solely on the response of the returned DEP 5033s. Need to confirm all haulers are completing in a timely manner and at all.

• With the large number of cities between NKSWMA Counties, we are not notified when city contracts are renewed or re-bid.

• Residents, in rural areas especially, deal with illegal dumping throughout the year. The cleanups and voucher programs are anticipated to help cease illegal dumping.³
