A significant state grant has been awarded to support the acquisition of 16 four-yard hoppers and a new sorting line at the Lawrenceburg transfer station. This funding was officially presented to Assistant Director Zach Fralix and Lawrence County Solid Waste Director Gary Wayne Hyde. The sorting line, which operates as a conveyor belt system, plays a crucial role in processing mixed recyclables. Once the hoppers reach capacity, the sorted materials are efficiently rolled away for further handling.
The necessity for these 16 hoppers arises from the need to enhance the sorting process and to replace several damaged hoppers that are currently in use across various operations at the transfer station. The total cost for this upgrade amounts to $122,218.00, with the grant covering $109,997.00 of that expense. Lawrence County is responsible for contributing the remaining $12,121.00 as its required match for the project.
