On Thursday, December 1, at 4214 Fulton Mill Road (down the dirt road past Animal Welfare - see map below), Mayor Lester Miller, Commissioners, the Solid Waste Department, and Keep Macon-Bibb Beautiful will hold an official ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open the second Convenience Center. The ceremony starts at 10:00 a.m. and will be live streamed on www.Facebook.com/MaconBibbCounty.

“This is another step in keeping our community clean and giving everyone the opportunity to dispose of trash properly,” says Mayor Lester Miller. “Providing an additional center to dispose of debris will not only provide convenience for people but will hopefully cut down on illegal dumping.”

The Center will be open to the public following the event and will operate Thursday through Sunday from 8:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Operating hours are subject to change, depending on weather, holidays, and other extenuating circumstances.

People can bring, free of charge: yard debris, bagged household garbage, building material, metal, tires (limit of 4 per person), furniture, and recycling. To use the Center, a person must be a Macon-Bibb County resident and bring a valid driver’s license of I.D.

This is the second of five Convenience Centers being built around the County. The first opened in March 2022 at 1010 11th Street, near the old landfill. That Center is open seven days a week from 8:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
