It has recently come to the attention of the Town of Caroga officials that businesses in the Town of Caroga have been using the transfer station and putting garbage out for curbside pickup. In a recent memo from the Fulton County Department of Solid Waste, they stated that business including Air B&B’s and other short-term rentals are not allowed to use the transfer stations. When the Town took over municipal garbage collection, it was decided that only residential garbage would be picked up curbside, not commercial properties, which include stores, restaurants, motels, or service stations. The Town will be rigorously enforcing both the Town and County policies.
