Gwinnett Seeks Public Input On Solid Waste Plan

Posted: 12:10 pm EDT June 25, 2009

Gwinnett residents are invited to attend a series of public forums to provide feedback on whats most important to them regarding the delivery of solid waste services. Meetings will be held on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings at various locations throughout the county to encourage attendance.

We have heard repeated requests from citizens over the past few months for more opportunities for public input before the Board of Commissioners implements a revised solid waste program, said Commission Chairman Charles Bannister. I encourage everyone to let your voices be heard during this process.
