Gwinnett County officials said Friday the county’s existing garbage pickup system will continue to operate after a judge blocked the start of a new plan that consolidated collections and mandated and expanded recycling.
“While we still believe in the basic concepts of the new solid waste plan —- reducing waste in our landfills and increasing recycling opportunities —- we will look at adjustments to the plan in the next year, keeping in mind concerns gleaned from our constituents,” County Administrator Jock Connell said in a statement.
The new program had been set to begin Jan. 2 but was derailed Thursday when Superior Court Judge Michael C. Clark granted an injunction to stop it.
