The Macon-Bibb County Commission passed an ordinance with the goal of ensuring Macon’s revitalizing downtown remains a clean and attractive place for citizens and visitors. The ordinance standardizes collection of solid waste in the Central Business District, which includes zoning districts CBD-1 and CBD-2.
Each owner, occupant, tenant, or lessee of developed property located in the Central Business District must meet minimum solid waste storage and collection requirements by either: 1) entering into a written service contract with commercial solid waste provider that has been granted an active franchise from Macon-Bibb County or 2) receiving a waiver from this requirement, which is granted by the Macon-Bibb County solid waste inspector by demonstrating equivalent collection and disposal services.
