Citizens Advisory Committee

To ensure Knox County residents have input into solid waste and recycling issues, the legislation that created Indiana’s solid waste management districts requires that each district maintain a Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC).

The CAC must include representatives of the solid waste management industry, the environmental community and other concerned citizens knowledgeable about and interested in environmental issues and not employed by the solid waste management industry.Susan GrowPam SingletonJennifer HolscherStacey JohnsonTerry & Breeze JohnsonKenneth RobertsSuzan MorganLarry & Linda SuttererKaren Bible
