Reminder: Amnesty Day set for Saturday

Stephens County residents will have an opportunity to do some spring cleaning this coming Saturday, and save money at the same time. 

At a recent meeting of the Stephens County Board of Commissioners, Saturday, April 13 was approved unanimously as Amnesty day in Stephens COunty. 

The Amnesty Day event, on April 13, will run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Stephens County Public Works Department, located at 1597 Scenic Drive, in Toccoa.

Amnesty Day gives residents an opportunity to dump their junk for free and is a perfect time to get rid of junk in and around your home, garage, or yard including furniture, mattresses, carpet, grills, toys, appliances.

All small loose trash must be in garbage bags, and remember no tires, no liquids, no commercial construction materials, no limbs, or dry brush and only dried out paint cans.

No junk from outside Stephens County will be allowed. All vehicles must have a Stephens County Tag.

Officials will be onsite checking vehicle tags at the entrance of the Public Works Department.

If you have an out-of-town-tag, but are a Stephens County resident, remember to bring a piece of mail, such as a utility bill, and your driver’s license or ID with your Stephens County address.
