From Impact News, February 6, 2009...
The Williamson County Commissioners Court approved a proposed contract Feb. 3 concerning the operation of the county's landfill. The proposed contract, with revisions made during a two-hour, closed-door session, was unanimously approved by the Commissioners, but must still be given the green light by Waste Management.
One change to the contract that came from executive session was dedicated funds to benefit the City of Hutto and Hutto ISD. Several Williamson County residents, business owners and officials voiced their concerns over the contract during the citizen's comments portion of the meeting, all agreeing that the project should be put up for a 30-day review and that it should be publicly bid.

New recycling pilot program could cut waste nearly in half
From statesman.com, July 10, 2008...
Landfill and county officials are talking about two new recycling pilot programs that they say would reduce county waste nearly 50 percent.
The first program would recycle shingles from manufactured buildings into asphalt. The second would separate construction and demolition debris such as drywall, metal and concrete, and reuse or recycle those materials. Officials said they are looking to start the programs at the Williamson County landfill just north of Hutto in September.

From statesman.com, May 30, 2008...
The amount of waste coming into Williamson County's controversial landfill could increase dramatically under an proposed agreement between the City of Killeen and the landfill's operator, Waste Management of Texas.
The Killeen City Council gave the go-ahead Tuesday for the city to negotiate a contract with Waste Management to send the roughly 100,000 tons of waste that Killeen produces each year to Williamson County's landfill. Last year, the landfill took in 250,000 tons of waste from Williamson County, parts of Travis County and Salado, said Don Smith, Waste Management's Central Texas general manager.
