Cleanup Elmore County Initiative – Collection Facility Now Open

As a part of the Elmore County Commission’s Cleanup Elmore County Initiative, a Collection Facility (CF) has been established at 110 Red Eagle Dr Wetumpka and is now open.

The monthly Countywide Cleanup Day program has allowed for citizens to dispose of non-household garbage that is too large for their paid roll-away trash container for many years. Due to the increased demand by citizens to have the ability to discard items throughout the month and long waits to access the trash truck, a change to the program was needed. Now that the CF is open, it will serve as a replacement for the Countywide Cleanup Day program.

The CF will be open seven days a week with multiple roll off dumpsters present for citizens to dispose of items normally allowed at the previous Countywide Cleanup Days. The CF is designed to complement the citizen paid roll-away container programs in the county. Misuse of the CF by citizens who dump household garbage in lieu of utilizing the paid roll-away container program may be deemed as illegal dumping by the citizen and could result in a change in operations of the CF. The CF will be monitored by cameras to aid in prosecution of abuse of the CF.

Success of this collection facility could result in up to two more sites being planned in the future.

The development of the CF is one element of a comprehensive strategy to combat litter in beautiful Elmore County.
