Join Union County's New Litter Task Force to Keep Our Community Clean

Union County is starting a new initiative to address the ongoing litter issue by creating a Litter Task Force. This group will develop strategies to manage and prevent litter in the area. The County Commissioners plan to appoint seven members with expertise in fields like agriculture, business, environmental science, municipal government, waste management, and nonprofit work.

The Board of County Commissioners approved the Litter Task Force during their meeting on March 4, 2024. This action is part of the Union County 2050 Comprehensive Plan, which identifies litter as a major concern. The task force will use diverse viewpoints to create effective anti-litter strategies.

Caleb Sinclair, Union County's Solid Waste Director, noted the complexity of the litter problem and stressed the need for a varied approach. He looks forward to working with the task force members to find broad-based solutions.

The specifics of the Litter Task Force's regular meetings will be set at their first meeting, the date of which will be announced later. This structure will help maintain a clear agenda and coordinate the task force's efforts.
