Beginning this month, Cobb code enforcement officers are strictly enforcing the county’s litter ordinance around the county’s transfer station.

To prevent spills, drivers must secure their loads and cover all debris on or in trucks and vehicles when heading to and from the Cobb County Waste Transfer Station, 1897 County Services Parkway, Marietta.

Code enforcement officers will issue citations for all uncovered loads around the transfer station that could lead to fines of $135 on the first offense but up to $1,000 or a sentence of community service.

Signs have been posted along County Services Parkway to warn travelers of this code violation.
