Perry County Publishes Solid Waste Contacts and Planning Documents

Perry County's solid waste office provides a single, official reference for residents seeking information about trash disposal, collection schedules, code enforcement, and how to contact county solid waste staff. The listing identifies Tanner Brown as Solid Waste Coordinator and Beth Caudill as administrative assistant, and gives the office location at 481 Main Street, 1st Floor, Hazard, KY 41701, with phone (606) 439-0149.

Beyond basic contacts, the county resource describes general program responsibilities and identifies where residents can find code enforcement contacts. It also links to planning documents, notably the Solid Waste 5-Year Plan, which outlines strategic priorities for waste collection, disposal and regulatory compliance. Having these materials centralized reduces uncertainty for households and businesses trying to navigate disposal options, follow collection schedules, or report code violations.

The institutional implications are direct. Solid waste administration is a routine county function that intersects public health, environmental protection, and fiscal planning. The 5-Year Plan functions as a guide for capital investments, contract decisions and potential rate or service changes that can affect household costs and municipal budgets. Access to coordinator contact details and administrative staff information supports basic transparency and gives residents a defined channel to ask questions, lodge complaints or seek clarifications on enforcement and service standards.

For civic engagement, the county resource creates an avenue for residents to participate in policy discussions. Decisions about recycling, landfill use, collection frequency and enforcement priorities are determined at the local level and can be influenced by public input. Residents who follow the Solid Waste 5-Year Plan and contact county staff are better positioned to monitor proposed changes, request updates and hold elected officials accountable during budget cycles and public meetings.

Operationally, the listing serves immediate practical needs: it is the place to confirm where to take specific waste types, how to report missed pickups or illegal dumping, and whom to contact about code enforcement actions. For those seeking assistance or information, the solid waste office can be reached at the listed Hazard address and by calling (606) 439-0149. The named coordinator and administrative assistant provide clear points of contact for follow-up, making the county’s solid waste program more accessible to residents and community stakeholders.
