Last Chance to Help Clean Up Tire Dumps, Sweep the Hooch and more!

Before it’s too late – Help Clean Up Tire Dumps and Leaky Landfills

CRK wants the Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste Trust Funds to receive 100% of fees that are collected so that tire dumps, leaky landfills and contaminated properties can be cleaned up.

BUT the Georgia Constitution does not allow legislators to “dedicate” fees. So tire fees (and other fees) paid by everyday people and collected by the state are not always spent for their intended purpose; 40% of the fees collected are diverted from these funds.

You can make a difference here. Call Lt. Governor Casey Cagle at (404) 656-5030 and ask him to urge a Senate vote on HR 158.
