Update 2026-06-26: Lowndes County Code Enforcement says they have started an investigation and they’ll handle cleanup.
If the Withlacoochee River rises much more, all this trash could be swept downstream.
I don’t think we want antifreeze or plastic pipes or even random plywood and wood slats in the river.
Construction materials dumped at Hagan Bridge, Withlacoochee River @ GA 122, First reported 2026-06-25
So I have reported this trash dump to Lowndes County Code Enforcement so they can see if they can determine who put it there.
And also to Lowndes County Public Works, in hopes their litter crew can come collect it.
Remember, you can report trash, sewage spills, or anything else that could affect waterways:
We were alerted to this trash by a post by Johnnie D Smith on June 25, 2026, in the facebook group Lowndes County, Georgia Voices.
