The Greene County Solid Waste Management District meeting on February 26, 2025, focused on upcoming initiatives, including the scheduling of the annual Tire Amnesty event and discussions about grant funding for waste management projects.

During the meeting, members discussed the timing of the Tire Amnesty event, traditionally held close to Earth Day. It was proposed to schedule the event for April 26, 2025, following Easter weekend, allowing ample time for advertising. The event will continue to be free of charge, similar to the previous year, as long as grant funding is available.

The district has applied for a $10,000 tire grant from the state, which would aid in managing waste and cleaning up the county. Members expressed optimism about receiving the grant again this year, which would support their efforts to dispose of tires properly.

Additionally, there was a discussion about whether to charge a fee for tires that are still on rims. While the previous year's policy allowed for rimless tires to be dropped off at no cost, members considered implementing a small fee for rimmed tires to help cover costs associated with the grant.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the district's commitment to waste management and community engagement through events like Tire Amnesty, which aim to promote environmental responsibility in Greene County.
