Abstract
Rural cities and counties need economical solid waste management systems that eliminate promiscuous and open dumps. The paper discusses the creation of one such system in Humphreys County, Tennessee. Three open burning dumps and approximately 40 promiscuous roadside dumps were eliminated, while the county developed a container collection system and a central landfill. No Federal or State financial aid was used in the project. (Author)
