Editor’s Note: Sunshine Request makes no claim as to the veracity of any statements or information contained in any of the requests, or public records, we receive.
Editor’s Note 04/28/23: The submission above has been marked as “Completed.” As written, it is unclear what specific public records the sender would like to receive.
On March 30, 2023 we fulfilled a request for “… total number of trash tons that have been disposed of at the Rockingham County Landfill (Shuff Road, Madison, NC) from out of state, Virginia, and other counties outside the county border of Rockingham County, NC. During the specific time period of 10/01/2022 through 02/18/2023.” And, ” … any contract(s) between County Gov and Wall Recycling.”
Please review all responsive records, and any info we received from Clyde Albright or Rebekah Pegram, at the following URL: (February 2023) Request for Rockingham County, NC Government: Number of trash tons disposed at County Landfill 10/01/2022 – 02/18/2023. And any contract(s) between County Gov and Wall Recycling.
The biggest differences between the February request and the 04/24/23 new submission above, is that the sender has indicated a responsive timeline of “10/01/22 to 04/25/23” (10/01/22 – 02/18/23 was already requested), and, they are not asking to know about contracts this time. Clearly, there would be some overlap and duplication of the records produced as the request is written currently.
If, after reviewing the information above you are still unable to obtain the exact records you’d like to receive – then please revise and submit a new request to our website. Please clearly indicate a specific date range and any other specific details, subject matter, message, keywords, etc. about the exact public records that are being requested.
Sunshine Request will not fulfill the following types of requests:
☀️ Requests that are incomplete, non-specific, or vague.
While we do proofread requests we receive for general spelling and clarity, we may choose not to fulfill the request if it is incomplete, or it is unclear what specific information the requester hopes to receive. In this case, the sender may rewrite and resubmit the request.
It’s the requester’s responsibility to write the request in a manner that clearly specifies a record that is being requested, and to what government entity it should be sent.
☀️ Requests that are only informational questions, and requests that are not addressed to government entities.
Sunshine Request is a site built to make requests for public records to the government — Public records are recorded information such as documents, government emails, and data sets.
In the interest of preserving our team’s time to focus on the high volume of requests on our site, as well to respect the staff time of government entities fulfilling records requests, Sunshine Request will no longer fulfill “requests” that are just informational type questions for government entities to answer.
We also will not fulfill requests made to non-government entities.
It’s the requester’s responsibility to write the request in a manner that clearly specifies a record that is being requested, and to what government entity it should be sent.
☀️ Before submitting a request, please take a moment to review our tips for How to write and make a successful request. If you have additional questions about our site or how to make requests, please check out our FAQs or Policies page.
☀️ Please note that we cannot pay any fees / associated costs related to any of the requests on our site. If it is not possible for a Government Agency to process our request without incurring fees, then it is the responsibility of that Agency to let us know what the potential costs may be — at which point we will ask that they cease processing the request. We will mark the request as “Completed” on our site, and the sender can contact the Government Agency directly, should they wish to further pursue a request.
Thank you for using Sunshine Request!
