I get mine at the fire station on MAck Bayou Rd, they allways have cases of them. They told me they get theirs from the county yard on JD Miller rd.
I think the people in north walton would be happy with yard trash pick up. My mother lives south of Freeport and her trash is picked up 2 times a week. When i clean her yards i haft to haul the yard trash to the county landfill north of DFS. I know they offer it in South Walton, The City of Freeport by DayCO and DFS. I think if South Walton gets the rest of the county should receive it also. The county has a 1 cent sales tax for trash pick up and landfill management and i belive there is a surplus in the money right now.
Also the Landfill guys told be the trash is dumped in a big building and every bag is opened and sorted for Glass, cans, paper, ect. and sorted so it did not matter if it was in blue bags or not. The only thing they could not use was papers if they got wet.

Surplus funds are redirected as supplements to the county and the three cities on a pro-rata basis. Good luck getting any of those extra dollars redirected. There is a group that wants those monies allocated for infrastructure in the county, road expansion, underground utilities, things of that nature, but I have not heard of much support from the BCC on that either.
where do I dispose of a full recycle bag
The bin behind Watercolor Publix only accepts individual items?

If the bag is separated by the items the bin accepts you should be fine. i.e. one bag of plastics, one bag of metal, one bag of paper, etc.
WaterColor could always do their own curbside recycling as they have there own trash service. ;-)
recycle blue bags
I'm in a condo where the garbage is compacted. I need someplace to drop off a blue bag without separating it into separate items.

Double or triple bag it and throw it in the compactor. Leave the paper out in case of ripping. The paper has to remain dry, but as was previously mentioned convicts go through the trash so they should catch it even if the bag rips.
I asked the waste specialists about this issue
I was advised that those recycling bins get dumped right with the trash. Then the prisoners separate it. And if "if" they see a blue bag while separating the garbage then they grab that. Now I?m for all for prisoners sifting garbage however the system is broken. I would have no problem paying a $5 tax to have my recyclables handled in a responsible manner. In other words if I set something apart to be recycled, then I want to know that it will be recycled. Those of you driving where ever it is you drive to, in order to get to the bins, you might be better off blue bagging it. I?m not sure the prisoners care all that much about going through other people?s garbage and sifting it in a correct manner. I am sure that changes need to be made in the handling of our recyclables. Though most my point of views are to the right, when it comes to the environment, Well I'm not sure sweeping it under the rug is the correct thing to do, so I'm more to the left on that issue. In other words I think for myself. It is everyone?s responsibility to take care of this Earth (we only have 1!!!) As for me if it requires an extra $5 a month then sign me up, because as it is the Walton County Recycling program is little more then a joke!!!!
