Highway 56 South Garbage Collection Convenience Site To Close

DeKalb County residents, who normally dump their household garbage at the convenience center on Highway 56 south, will soon have to find somewhere else to go.
County Mayor Mike Foster says the state has purchased that property in preparation for the widening and improvement of Highway 56 south and the convenience site there will be closing by July 30th.
Efforts are underway to find another location in the area for a new garbage collection site. County officials thought they had found a spot, but Foster says those plans fell through.
