Bulk waste permitted again at recycling centers
County continues to address trash issues
W Thompson
Bulloch County Commission Chairman Roy Thompson
Bulloch County Commissioners were talking trash again during a scheduled meeting Tuesday, discussing future plans for dump sites and deciding to lift the temporary ban on bulk waste being accepted at manned recycling centers. During Hurricane Irma, commissioners suspended the acceptance of bulk waste at the manned centers in order to accommodate the handling of other garbage, such as food spoiled due to power outages and other household refuse, said Bulloch County Commission Chairman Roy Thompson. The temporary ban on recycling centers taking bulk waste caused some concern with some citizens, since yard debris created by falling limbs and other storm-related issues created bulk waste.
