When free tipping opens at 7amCT, Sat - lines should move faster


2017-05-19 .
The queue was over 30 vehicles long when this photo was taken. The lines moved slowly because of a cumbersome weighing system which shouldn't occur Saturday morning thanks to Magistrate Daryl Flatt, Transfer Station Manager Doug Hensley, and Vicky Pike putting their heads together and finding a streamlined system expected to speed offloading to twice the speed.. At one point Friday, a heavily loaded dump truck's power failed, the vehicle had to be offloaded by hand and the lines backed up.

When Vicky Pike, a member of the Adair County Solid Waste Advisory Committee, arrived at noon to inspect free tipping opening day, she found the line moving slowly; during the afternoon the situation worsened. But when she and Adair County Magistrate Daryl Flatt and transfer station overseer Doug Hensley put their heads together, they found a way to streamline the off loading, starting at 7amCT tomorrow, which should allow Adair Countians to move through at the line at twice the speed.
