County-wide trash day next month

The quarterly Falls County Free Trash Day will take place on Aug. 1. There is normally one in april, but that date had to be cancelled due to the beginning stages of the coronavirus pandemic. During a commissioner’s court meeting in June, commissioners decided it would be in the county’s best interest to go ahead with this one now that the statewide lockdown has been lifted. 

There will be four collection sites, all around Falls County. Rosebud’s location is at West County Road 351. The Falls County Jail site, located at 2847 Hwy 6, is the location in Marlin. The Waste Collection Station in Lott is the third one, located at 330 S. Hwy 77. Chitlon will hold the fourth site at D&F Ag. Services, located at 2590 Hwy 7. This is across from the Volunteer Fire Department building.

Only certain material will be accepted. Batteries, appliances, and brush are among them, but sites will not accept chemicals, roofing materials, or hazardous waste. Brush must be no larger than three inches in diameter. For additional information or for any questions, contact the Falls County Judge’s Office at (254) 883-1426.
