Chattooga County transit services, administrative offices, and other county departments will be closed on Friday, July 3, 2026, in observance of the Independence Day holiday.
County officials say the Chattooga County Transfer Station and county dump sites will remain open and operate on their regular schedules.
For emergencies or any issue requiring a county crew to be dispatched, residents should call 911.

Chattooga County residents will soon have another opportunity to dispose of household garbage at the county’s free dumpsters.
Chattooga County Sole Commissioner Andy Allen says the dumpsters at the Chattooga County Transfer Station on Stockade Road in Summerville will now be open on Sunday afternoons for residents bringing household garbage.
Allen noted that the Transfer Station itself will not be open on Sundays, only the free household garbage dumpsters.
The county also reminds residents of the current transfer station fees, which are scheduled to take effect Monday, September 8, 2025. Fees listed include $60 per ton for in-county garbage, $80 per ton for out-of-county garbage, $45 per ton for brush, $160 per ton for car tires, $260 per ton for truck tires, and $10 each for mattresses and box springs. The minimum dump fee is $5.
Chattooga County residents will soon have an additional opportunity each week to dispose of household garbage as county officials expand operating hours at the county’s main transfer station.
Chattooga County Sole Commissioner Andy Allen announced that the transfer station on Stockade Road will begin opening on Sundays, providing residents with a weekend option for household waste disposal.
Under the new schedule, the county’s main transfer station will operate from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m. on Sundays.
Allen said the change is intended to help residents who have difficulty visiting the facility during normal weekday hours.
“This will let people get rid of some of their household garbage on the weekends,” Allen said.
The expanded hours will apply only to the county’s main transfer station on Stockade Road. Other garbage collection sites located throughout Chattooga County will remain closed on Sundays.
According to Allen, opening every collection site on Sundays would significantly increase personnel and operating costs. County leaders instead chose to focus on adding hours at the main transfer station while keeping expenses manageable.
Allen said he has wanted to open the main site on Sundays for some time and believes the added hours will provide greater convenience for residents whose work schedules and other commitments make weekday visits difficult.
County officials hope the expanded access will help residents keep up with household waste disposal needs without requiring costly expansions at collection sites across the county.

County offices will resume normal business hours on Monday, June 22.

County officials also said they honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to the nation.
Chattooga County officials say the county’s Remote Dump sites and the Transfer Station will be closed for the holiday on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
