- The Future of Recycling in Jackson County – County Supervisors Adrian Swanson & Ed Chamberlain: Jackson County has concerns about the rising costs and lack of markets for recyclables. If the County decides to discontinue this service, each Town would need to find a way to provide its own recycling program. There is a State mandate requiring Towns to provide recycling services. We need to begin discussions on how to best manage this underfunded State mandate.
