Septage Disposal

There are three options for septage disposal in Georgia: treatment at a wastewater treatment plant, treatment at a separate septage handling facility and land disposal. Disposal and treatment at wastewater treatment plants, separate septage handling, and land application sites are regulated through Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Environmental Protection Division.

In Cobb County, septage can be taken to South Cobb WRF for disposal (fees and regulations apply).
