Gordon County
Solid Waste Management

The Solid Waste Management Enterprise Fund is responsible for operating the county’s 610.19 acre (162.62 permitted acres) Subtitle D municipal solid waste Redbone Ridges Landfill and maintaining the permanently closed 40 acre Harris Beamer landfill. This fund operates six manned collection sites located throughout the county and performs recycling services. The Board of County Commissioners approved a twenty year management agreement with Santek Environmental of Georgia to manage the Redbone Ridges Landfill, the six manned collection sites, and the recycling center beginning February 1, 2006. The closed Harris Beamer landfill will remain the responsibility of the county. This Fund generates revenue from host fees, closure fees, lease payment for county-owned equipment, and interest earnings. 

Santek Environmental of Georgia will continue to manage the county’s Redbone Ridges landfill during this fiscal year
