County needs volunteers for solid waste committee
Press release from Butler County:
The Butler County Recycling & Solid Waste Management District is currently seeking volunteers to serve on the Solid Waste Policy Committee in the positions of “public representative” and “industrial/commercial/institutional representative.”
The Solid Waste District Policy Committee is responsible for developing a 15-year solid waste management plan. Butler County is preparing to update its plan in fall 2009. This two-year process will include submitting a new draft plan to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency in November 2010, with a final document due in February 2012.
The district is seeking two citizens to volunteer to serve as “public representatives”. Individuals, who wish to serve as public representatives, must be Butler County citizens who have no conflict of interest through affiliation with a waste management company or with any entity that is a significant generator of solid waste. The other position is that of “industrial/commercial/institutional representative.” This individual will represents a major generator of solid waste within the district.
Candidates should be able to attend six yearly meetings. The district may hold additional meetings on an “as-needed” basis, with no more than one meeting per month. Meetings are generally held in the morning, on the second or third Friday of the month at the Butler County Administrative Building, 130 High Street (located next to former Elder-Beerman) in Hamilton. Appointments to the Solid Waste District’s Policy Committee are for a two-year term.
To be considered for the “public representative” or “industrial/commercial sector representative” positions, please send a letter of interest and a biography or resume to the district. Applicants can mail letters and biographies/resumes to 130 High Street, Hamilton, OH 45011, or they can send a fax to (513) 887-3777, or they can send an email to Solid Waste District Coordinator Anne Fiehrer Flaig at fiehrerflaigea@butlercountyohio.org. The deadline to apply is Wednesday, Sept. 30. The district will review all submissions and select candidates by the end of October 2009.
For additional information, please contact Anne Fiehrer Flaig at (513) 887-3963. A copy of the current solid waste management plan is available at www.butlercountyrecycles.org - see “about us”.
The Solid Waste District is dedicated to promoting recycling, waste reduction and responsible disposal of all waste from households, commercial establishments, and industry to conform to Ohio EPA regulations.

Who would want to serve on this committee when the Commissioners never listen to what they recommend? If it doesn’t serve Don Dixon and his friends any recommendation is trashed.

Matt, Sorry you feel that your input isnt being considered. I for one am going to volunteer my time again as I did in 1986 when I was a citizen member of the Butler County Solid Waste Steering Committee responsible for implementing what we are now doing.
