Franklin county approves tracking system for solid waste department

            Franklin County Commissioners have approved the installation of tracking systems in the trucks used at the solid waste department.

Solid Waste director Fonda Davis said he plans to install the system in a dozen trucks used by the landfill.

The system will locate trucks and monitor their location from a computer at the landfill.

Fonda said the system will help provide needed information to FEMA during storm recovery.

It will also help the solid waste department save on fuel by allowing for better planned routes.

The system will cost the solid waste department 3000 dollar a year – the money was already budgeted for the project.
