The Ulster County Solid Waste Management Improvement Commission remains months away from making recommendations on the future of trash disposal in the county, according to commission Co-chairman Carl Chipman.

Chipman, in a telephone interview last week, said the panel is preparing to provide county lawmakers with suggestions and work toward implementing solutions.

“Too many times these committees write a report and then it’s done and over with and the damn thing sits on a shelf,” said Chipman, the Rochester town supervisor. “I don’t want to see that happen. I want to see certain things happen. I want to see certain things happen to move us forward so that we can better serve the communities we represent and also save everybody some money.”
