Citrus County Introducing Pilot

Pet Patrol

Program to Recycle Concrete

Citrus County Solid Waste Management will soon implement a concrete recycling

program at the Citrus County Landfill. This new program was discussed at Tuesday s regu-

lar board meeting of the Board of Citrus County Commissioners while conducting a public

hearing to adopt fees, assessment rates and an emergency fee schedule for Solid Waste FY

2012-13.

The pilot program would work by accepting clean concrete from local contractors

and builders with a $0.00 tipping fee for clean material. A $90.00 relocation fee will apply

should there be any waste in the load other than concrete. The concrete would be stockpiled

until a sufficient amount of concrete was accumulated. That concrete would then be crushed

into aggregate which will be used at the landfill or by other County Divisions for upcoming

projects.

Director of Solid Waste Management, Casey Stephens says this program would

help not only residents, but save the County money as well. “We are trying to offer another

service to customers of the landfill and at the same time produce a product we can use inter-

nally at the landfill.” Stephens says they will contract with a company to bring a concrete

crusher into the landfill and crush the concrete down to aggregate once or twice a year. The

concrete recycling program will begin October 1, 2012.
