Henry County residents who use the rural sanitation collection site will see a change in service starting with the new year.
The county’s rural sanitation contract is now being handled by All American Sanitation, with updated hours taking effect Friday, January 2, 2026.
According to All American Sanitation representative Tim Myers, the transition will not impact what materials are accepted at the site located at 900 West Washington Street in Mount Pleasant. All separation requirements and disposal procedures will remain business as usual.
The primary change residents should note is the operating schedule. Beginning January 2nd, the collection site will be open from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays; from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Fridays; and from 7:30 a.m. to noon on Saturdays. The site will be closed on Sundays.
The facility will also observe closures on major holidays, including New Year’s Day, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.
Myers says signage will be posted at the site with updated hours and contact information to assist residents. All American Sanitation will move equipment into place on New Year’s Day and officially open under the new contract on Friday, January 2nd.
The rural sanitation service change in hours applies to residents across Henry County. This site is for rural residents only; city trash isn’t accepted. Proof of rural residency is required. They accept household trash and recyclables.
