Questions About Trash Pickup Near Ephesus
Is a county trash permit sold in Ephesus itself?
Yes. The county's permit page names Ephesus City Hall as one of its three counters, so you do not need a trip to the county seat.
What if my address is across the line in Alabama?
Alabama addresses are outside our service area, and Ephesus is only about 2 miles from the line. Give us the street address and we will tell you whether it is covered.
Is Ephesus its own city?
Yes, Ephesus is an incorporated city in the northwest corner of Heard County, and it has its own City Hall. Mail there usually carries a Roopville or Bowdon address, so the postal address and the city name may not match.
