DeKalb County removed 1,199 tons of debris from demolished buildings at Brannon Hill Condominium near Clarkston on July 13 and 14, completing Phase I of cleanup plans at the development.

Phase I of the Brannon Hill cleanup was completed by 37 county employees working a combined 460 hours with 45 pieces of heavy equipment and dump trucks. Trucks removed 152 loads of debris to DeKalb County’s Seminole Road Landfill.

Built in 1973, more than 100 units at the complex are vacant and in various states of disrepair. On Nov. 18, DeKalb County obtained a court order allowing nuisance abatement in Brannon Hill at four buildings totaling 68 units.
