Public Works will send employees to work on any county road or roadside. The department is also responsible for the upkeep of bridges. The department also makes sure roads are clearly marked with road signs.

Mr. Robinson's office oversees garbage convenience centers, recycling centers, the transfer station, and free trash days, as well.
