What is Solid Waste?
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I place old medication in the trash?
Should I flush old medications down the toilet?
NO. Flushing medications can cause contamination to local aquatic environments and wastewater treatment systems are not designed to remove medications. Also, medication can kill helpful bacteria in septic systems.
Is there a place to take Hard to Reclycle Materials? Like oil, batteries, propane tanks?
Yes, we encourage individuals to take hard to recylced material to the CHaRM facility located in Athens-Clarke County. They are located at 1005 College Aveue, Athens, GA. Hours include Monday from 10am to 7pm, Wednesday from 10am to 7pm, and Saturday from 8am to 12pm. For more information about the facility, click here.
