Franklin County complains (again) about illegal trash dumping

            Franklin County says it will take legal action against a company that is illegally dumping trash on St. George Island.     

They didn’t name the company, but County Coordinator Michael Moron said the company has a history of illegal dumping on the island and has been warned by the solid waste department on a number of occasions.

The board on Tuesday agreed to let the county attorney take whatever action he deems necessary.

Commissioners added that the illegal dumping problem is not limited to St. George Island.

Commissioner Smokey Parrish said he is having the same problem on Brownsville Road in Apalachicola with where someone is tossing household garbage on the side of the road week after week.

He said it doesn’t just look bad but it also attracts bears.

Commissioners said they will try to get a camera at the site to finally catch the lawbreaker.

Michael Moron said residents can also help by reporting any illegal dump sites to the county.


You will soon be able to report issues and even send pictures of the illegal dumps through the county website at franklincountyflorida.com.
