Nothing stops garbage collection in DeKalb County.

Well, at least a water main break doesn’t.

In the midst of a major main break affecting dozens of businesses, schools, hospitals, goverment offices and homes, the county announced that the break will not affect trash pickup for residents and commercial businesses.
