Durham Seeks Citizen Input on 10-Year Solid Waste Management Plan

Two Public Meetings Scheduled to Share Suggested Revisions and Seek
Resident Input on City's Solid Waste Program for Next Decade

 

DURHAM, N.C. - Durham residents interested in providing input into
revisions of the City of Durham's 10-Year Solid Waste Management Plan
will get their chance at two public meetings beginning next week.

meetings on Wednesday, July 29 at 12 p.m. and Tuesday, August 4 at 6
p.m. at the City's Solid Waste Operations Facility Auditorium, located
