NATCHEZ — Adams County Supervisors plan to discontinue curbside recycling effective April 1, but hope to offer residents recycling bins at the two convenience stations.

County Administrator Joe Murray said the county is paying more than $10,000 a year for the program, and only approximately 100 residences are regularly participating.

Murray said he plans to bring the issue up at Tuesday’s supervisors meeting.

Supervisors had previously planned to discontinue the program at the end of February, but Murray said he did not believe that would give residents enough time to adjust.

And Murray said he also wanted to work with Waste Pro, the company currently contracted to pick up garbage and recycling, to make sure a plan was in place for recycling pickup at the county convenience stations, which he said would be at no cost to the county.

Murray said Waste Pro representatives have informed him by March 1, recycling bins should be located at the convenience stations for drop off. The convenience stations are located at the intersection of Steamplant and Foster Mound roads and on Upper Kingston Road near where the Kingston school was located.

The county offered recycling to 500 houses in the Morgantown and Beau Pre neighborhoods, but Murray said only 100 residences were regularly putting recycling out for pick up.

The county began its pilot curbside recycling program in 2014.

Murray said the contract for garbage pick up will be up for renewal in November, and he said a company could come up with a better solution for curbside recycling.

Residents with bins can keep them, Murray said.

In other news, Murray also resigned from the Natchez-Adams County Port Authority board.

District 2 Supervisor David Carter, who had previously appointed Murray, nominated Bubba Kaiser, who had moved into District 2. Kaiser was approved 4-1, with District 4 Supervisor Ricky Gray voting no.

Board Attorney Scott Slover said Kaiser forfeited his position on the airport commission when he moved into Carter’s district.
