MACON, Ga. — Due to the lack of workers, ADS Waste Management does not have enough vehicles to collect household recycling, so six recycling containers have been placed at Macon fire stations that will allow people to drop off their material.
According to a release from Macon-Bibb County's the Hub, this was done in attempt to help people alleviate full recycling carts.
“We want you to know that we are working diligently to remedy this situation, and firmly believe we are taking the appropriate actions to do so including bringing in outside resources to assist with delays,” says Marla Prince, Senior Community Relations Specialist with Waste Management. “Additional routes have been added and we continue to onboard new teammates.”
“This is certainly an inconvenience for many people, and we’re hoping providing these containers will help alleviate some of the issue with missed recycling collection,” says Mayor Lester Miller.
Should either of the cans not get collected, leave it on the curb and call 478-405-5000 to report the missed collection.
