Weeks emphasizes the importance of proper bin usage, especially as the holiday season approaches. She aims to ensure everyone is aware of the correct procedures. Interestingly, despite the slight dip in community trash collections, the Lyon County Transfer Station experienced increased traffic during Christmas.
However, the early removal of bins resulted in a mere quarter-ton of trees collected. Weeks, still settling into her new role after replacing Keith Senn, has dedicated 23 years to the transfer station. She plans to address this issue and improve communication for future holidays.
