The Floyd County Fiscal Court has passed a new ordinance which will help ensure a cleaner, healthier environment for Floyd County residents. The new trash ordinance, which will go into effect July 1st, will mandate residents dispose of trash properly or face $100 per day fine. The intent is not to create a hardship on our people at all. We want to help our folks to clean up our area. There are other of our neighboring counties that are also working on similar ordinances. You know, when we think about economic development and people come in to our county wanting to invest money, and if our county doesn't look good, if they, you know, away from here, they look at it, they have asked the judge, you know, why do I want to invest millions of dollars in a county that doesn't look that great, you know? And so it's a reflection on us as a county. And again, it's not the intent to make it a hardship. We just want to clean up our county. We want, you know, to have Floyd County pride and just look good. The mandate also gives residents an opportunity to dispose of trash for free. Judge Williams has worked it out for everyone to be able to go to the local, to the trash drop off up above Martin at Garth. One time per month, they will just have to present their driver's license showing that they are a resident of Floyd County. Now we can't have contractors going up there dumping a lot of stuff. This is household trash. We cannot dump tires or, you know, I think oil and things like that. But household trash, if there's things you need to pick up around to get rid of, one time a month, that will be free. And then we're also looking at other areas around the county to make it convenient for people to be able to take those items to a central location in their part of the county to be able to drop off.
