Waste Disposal Options: The following options are available to dispose of materials that are not recycled: • Green Bags - We accept the county-approved "Green Bags" for garbage disposal. The $1.50 purchase cost of these bags helps pay for the disposal of your trash at a state approved landfill. The green bag is 32 gallon, 2 mil plastic bag with the Walton County emblem imprinted on the bag. These bags are available at area grocery stores, usually at the service desk. After purchasing a green bag, there is no additional fee to dispose of the bag at the county drop-off centers. • Disposal of larger items that require land filling is based on a rate of $45 per ton. Our computerized scales will weigh your loaded vehicle when entering the facility. Your now-empty vehicle is again weighed as it exits the facility, and the difference in weight is used to determine the fee to be charged. • To dispose of yard waste, you may either use a privately owned inert landfill, or follow the guidelines of burning. These regulations can be obtained by contacting the Walton/Morgan Division of Georgia Forestry at (770) 207-4204. • You have the option to hire a private hauler to pick up your garbage at the curb if you decide you do not want to use the green bag system. To report a problem with a private hauler, call (770) 267-1350. We accept cash and checks only. |

Landfill
capacity is decreasing as land is becoming sparse. By supporting our
recycling efforts here in Walton County, as well as the state of Georgia,
we can reduce more than 25% of landfill space. When your garbage truck
picks up your house hold trash, unless you ask them to recycle, it
goes into a landfill. When a landfill gets to capacity, a new one
has to start up. Tax payers have to foot the bill for more land to
turn into a landfill. You pay the costs for new landfill developments
and disposal options, whereas Recycling is Free. 4235
