Yancey County adopted a capital project ordinance to implement the Yancey County Recycling and Transfer Station Program using an NC DEQ grant. The $1,314,082 program, funded by $1,300,000 from NC DEQ and a $14,082 general fund contribution, will purchase a road tractor (Peterbilt), roll-off truck, front loader truck, 53' trailer, cardboard baler and installation, a utility dozer, and will fund tipping floor metal edge repair and replacement of main recycling center garage doors. The county manager is authorized to execute all contracts and change orders necessary to complete the equipment purchases and facility improvements, but specific vendors or manufacturers are not identified.This is an active, grant-backed fleet and facility upgrade where truck OEMs and dealers, baler and material handling vendors, heavy equipment suppliers, and facility contractors can compete to supply vehicles, machinery, and construction services aligned with DEQ requirements and the county’s solid waste operations.

The itemization of specific trucks, baler, dozer, and repairs suggests multiple separate procurements rather than a single bundled contract.
