High-wind closure policy for Brown County landfill approved

The Brown County Commission approved a new high wind policy for the county landfill, allowing the Solid Waste Director to close the landfill when winds reach certain speeds to protect public safety. The landfill will reopen once conditions are safe. Additionally, the Commission awarded a contract for hauling trash from the county transfer station to Hamm’s landfill near Perry, with three loads per weekday at $375 per load.
