“We are asking people help us tackle illegal dumping in our city,” said Mayor William “Bill” Edwards. “Often, people leave items like tires, mattresses, and other bulk trash along roadsides and in secluded areas, causing dangerous eyesores. We want to prevent these actions by encouraging people, ‘Don’t trash South Fulton.’”

The city will accept large items. at both Merk Miles and Creel Park, including furniture, appliances, televisions, computers, paints and a maximum of four tires. In addition, it will offer free document shredding and disposal of yard waste and hazardous chemicals – including adhesives, aerosols, cleaning supplies, pool chemicals and fluorescent light bulbs – at the Merk Miles Transfer Station only.
