ACWORTH, Ga. — A Cobb County homeowner says she is fed up and has hired a new company to pick up her garbage after her previous company neglected to pick up her trash for weeks.
Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell spoke to the woman who said trash piled up for weeks outside her Acworth home.
Waste Connections of Georgia formerly known as American Disposal Services is supposed to get rid of trash for customers.
