Dougherty County - People in Dougherty County can continue dumping trash at the county landfill for free. County commissioners voted against a dumping fee increase and agreed to allow residents to take up to 250 pounds of garbage to the landfill at no charge.

Loads more than 250 pounds will cost $27 a ton.
