In an effort to offer the commercial and residential solid waste generators of Toombs County and the surrounding counties more convenience with solid waste disposal, the Toombs County Solid waste facility (Landfill) will be conducting a ninety (90) day study by extending their hours during the months of April, May, and June. Toombs County’s objectives are to increase tonnage, provide more convenience for our solid waste generators and increase facility  employee moral. The hours during this period are as follows:
