Many citizens in the West Georgia area utilize the Newnan Road Convenience Center location to take their household trash and recycling items making this location easily one of the busiest in the County averaging around 800 cars per day. As Carroll County continues to grow the Board of Commissioners recognized the need to expand the capabilities of the Convenience Center to ensure that the overflow of garbage is met with efficient and effective ways to compact and dispose of the 12 tons of household garbage that is brought in by the public daily.
Industrial Trash Compactors provide a cleaner environment by crushing the trash contained within the compactor reducing the smell and minimizes the process of transferring the garbage to the landfill.
The Carroll County Board of Commissioners, along with representatives from the Public Works Department, GFL Environmental Incorporated, and SLM Recycling Incorporated commemorated the opening of the new compactors on Wednesday 28, 2020 prior to Tropical Storm Zeta’s arrival. The compactors are now open to the public and we have been receiving positive feedback of how easy it is for our citizens to toss the garbage down the shoot as opposed to up and over the garbage bins making it easier for the elderly or those with disabilities to easily dispose of household garbage with little or no assistance.
