Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event
By Michelle Williams, Deputy Clerk / Senior Administrative Assistant
The Orange County Landfill, with the help of the Litter Control Committee, hosted a Household Hazardous Waste Collection event on October 9, 2021. This event provided the community with the opportunity to properly dispose of household hazardous wastes such as acids, fertilizers, antifreeze, paint, oil, pesticides, etc. Cars began lining up at the entrance to the Landfill at 7:30 a.m. In no time, the line was up around the corner of Porter Road. At 8:00 a.m., volunteers and Landfill staff began directing traffic to allow not only the 206 cars there specifically to dispose of their hazardous waste materials, but for the rest that were there simply for the disposal of
regular household trash. Clean Harbors collected 33,206 lbs. of materials in only four (4) hours! This event would not be possible without the allocation of funds by the Board of Supervisors; Randy Clatterbuck, Landfill Manager, and the Landfill staff, by opening up their facility to Clean Harbors; and the volunteers, especially from the Orange County High School ’ s FFA (Future Farmers of America).

By Dawn Herndon, Treasurer
The Orange County Marching Band traveled to Liberty University this month and competed in the 2021 VMBC Commonwealth State Championship. Orange was one of the smallest bands to compete. Though the band is small, it has proven to be mighty. As a result of all the hard work and dedication students and directors put into this season, they were named SINGLE A BAND STATE CHAMPION . Judges awarded the Marching Band 1 st in Color Guard, 1 st in General Effect, and 1 st in Visual. The County of Orange offers the students and their directors hearty congratulations on a job well done.
