Disposing of waste in creeks, rivers, ditches, on private property, or in others’ trash cans is illegal and may lead to charges such as littering and theft of utilities.
Authorities say this is a constant issue, with parts of the county littered with trash, debris, and broken furniture and appliances. ACSO states that cameras are in use to capture illegal dumping at known dumping sites.
The Attala County Sheriff’s Office is calling on residents to use proper waste disposal methods to protect the community and preserve the county’s cleanliness.
You can contact Waste Management for guidance on disposing of most items.
