  Randy Webster, director of the Jackson County Solid Waste Department, was authorized by the County Commission on Tuesday to order 273 more of the new solid waste containers.
  
  The county initially ordered 13,000 containers late last year for distribution to each household in Jackson County.Tippers were installed on garbage collection trucks to semi-automate collection and dumping of the new 96-gallon container contents into Solid Waste hauling trucks.
  
  Webster said the maker of these containers, Otto Manufacturing, will replace 175 containers at no charge due to bursting, breaking on the handles in the back, and tornadoes.He stated that between 60 and 70 containers were destroyed by tornadoes in Pisgah and Rosalie on February 6.
  
  Webster said the manufacturer will not charge freight on this order, which will give the department a balance of 488 containers on hand for future needs.
  
  He believes the need for containers may reach 15,000 because some people want two containers for which there is an additional charge, it seems more people are moving into than out of the county, new houses being constructed, and the department previously had been picking up garbage at some houses that were not being billed, Webster stated.Delivery of these containers has revealed many of those cases, he said.

  The commission asked Randy Webster, Director of the Jackson County Solid Waste Program if the county has a surplus garbage truck that could be donated.
  
  "We do not have a surplus truck, but we have one we could easily surplus," Webster said.
  
  Webster explained the county has a 1992 garbage truck that was purchased used as a back-up truck for the county. The county purchased a new garbage truck in December, so they now have another back-up truck.
  
  Webster said the 1992 truck is not needed and is of no value to the department.

  Solid waste pick-up service with the new container system has already begun, but the first official date on the schedule is Friday, Feb. 1, according to Randy Webster, director of the Jackson County Solid Waste Department.
  
  He told county commissioners at a meeting Tuesday the contract with the manufacturer from Charlotte, S.C., which is delivering the cans to a little over 13,000 customers in Jackson, is to be completed today.
  
  However, Webster said, there have been a few roads missed and individuals who have not received cans yet.He hopes to have all of that cleared up in a few days.
  
  Most customers are already placing their household garbage in the new plastic 96-gallon garbage "cans."Some apparently have been waiting for the targeted official date of February 1.
  
  Webster said overall response from customers so far has been positive.Garbage pick-up employees also like the system, which is semi-automated, and turns lifting over to tippers placed on garbage collection trucks.
  
  Webster said delivery of the containers to residences and businesses in the county is being done by the container manufacturer as part of the contract.Delivery has not been perfect, Webster said, but he thinks once all of the initial problems are worked out that the system will be much better for customers and Solid Waste employees.
  ...
  Webster said the residential customer service is $10.75 a month and the county provides the container without a deposit.People wanting a second container must put up a $60 deposit and pay an additional $5.50 a month, Webster stated.
  
  The director said he wants to get one container per customer out before offering second can service.He said he ordered 13,500 cans and that a few have been discovered burst.He hopes by the second week in February to be able to take orders for second cans if people wish.
  ...
  Webster said the manufacturer has designated time in March for the manufacture of additional containers if needed and that any of them that have burst or been found defective will be replaced by the manufacturer at no charge.
  
  The transition project including the containers, tippers placed on garbage collection trucks and related services is costing about $700,000.
  
  In the future, Webster said, he would like to make purchases in lots of 384 to minimize freight costs because that is the maximum number that can be hauled on a tractor-trailer rig.

  Randy Webster, director of the Jackson County Solid Waste Department, told county commissioners Tuesday that delivery of the new garbage containers to customers has begun.
  
  The county authorized the purchase of 13,500 containers for 13,002 customers and the contractor, Otto Management Co., is delivering them with the help of temporary personnel as part of the contract with the county for some $700,000.
  
  Tippers were placed on Solid Waste trucks to tip the 96-gallon container contents over into the garbage hauling truck.Webster described this as semi-automated.
  
  Webster said some 1,800 containers, each with a number, were assigned to customers the first day.The distribution is going a little slower than the company expected, Webster said, but workers are getting the job done and anticipate being through with delivery of the containers by Friday, January 25.
  ...
  Webster said the job, which had been advertised, drew 67 applications.
  
  Webster requested employment of a temporary part-time person, who would work 20 hours a week or less, and this was approved on a 3-2 vote with Chairman James Tidmore breaking the tie.
  ...
  Webster said delivery of the containers had resulted in "a ton of phone calls" from customers.He said he is also responsible for 18 people who work in and out of the Solid Waste Department shop.
  
  Webster said the person would be hired for six months and review the situation at that time.

  Randy Webster, director of the Jackson County Solid Waste Department, said the pick-up appeared to be a little heavier than usual with Christmas wrapping paper, boxes, Christmas trees and related items.
  
  He said workers in the county were out picking up two days of garbage Wednesday and that he would know more the latter part of this week on what those two days were like.Garbage collection routes in the county were run every weekday except Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
  
  The number of Christmas trees won't be known until later this week, Webster said, because most people don't discard their trees until a few days after Christmas.
  
  He said it is unknown whether there is an overall trend toward more artificial Christmas trees that are stored and re-used each Christmas.Webster said that topic was discussed recently, but they reached no conclusion.

  County Solid Waste Director Randy Webster said the dumpsters are used, but they are in good shape.
  
  "It is a really good buy," Webster said.
  
  Webster said the Florida company they are buying the dumpsters from agreed to throw in a few extra dumpsters at no cost.
  
  Webster said the dumpsters will be a rental item that will be offered through the county's solid waste program. Webster said these are four and six yard rear loader dumpsters that would be of most benefit at businesses, such as restaurants, and for debris from small remodeling projects.
  ...
  Webster assured her they were in good condition, but he was prepared to make any necessary cosmetic repairs that were needed.
  
  "When I put them out there, they are going to look good, or I will not put them out," Webster said.
