The Elmore County Commission is asking residents to stop misusing the waste collection facility located on Red Eagle Drive.

The collection facility opened in March as the result of a partnership with the commission and the city of Wetumpka, and replaces the previous once a month countywide cleanup day. Its use is intended for county residents who are paying customers of the county or city’s curbside trash collection service.
