ADRIAN — Lenawee County is developing updated siting rules for waste and recycling facilities, aiming to establish clearer standards for drop-off locations, compost sites, and private operators.

The draft framework includes notification requirements for new businesses, public access guidelines, material reporting, and potential surcharges.

Officials emphasized that the plan is still in the early stages but said it’s essential to build consistency and transparency as more private and public operations enter the county’s waste ecosystem.
