MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – A second company is now helping Macon-Bibb County catch up on collecting yard and bulk waste. Starting Thursday, crews with Southern Disaster Recovery (SDR) began working alongside Ceres Environmental Operations to collect yard and bulk waste on the curb in front of homes.
According to Macon-Bibb, both contracts are set to last up to eight weeks to help collections catch up and get back on schedule.
“What we needed was more people and more resources, so we found a way to make that happen,” said Mayor Lester Miller. “We can’t have collections remain this far behind, and by bringing these companies on board, our Solid Waste crews can focus on missed recycling and other issues that arise.”
