Southbound traffic on GA 365 in Baldwin was briefly disrupted when treated sewage spilled onto the highway.
Waste Away owner Matt McKay says approximately a half yard of solid waste from the Baldwin treatment plant spilled out of a roll-off dumpster.
“It was a little too wet, so, when we hit the brakes, it came out of the can,” McKay says.
The spill was reported shortly after 12 noon. According to McKay, there were two small spills in the area of Kudzu Hill Road and BC Grant and Duncan Bridge roads.
Baldwin police and Demorest firefighters responded to the call. They narrowed traffic in the area to one lane as crews worked to clean up the mess. Both southbound lanes were reopened within several hours.
Police said they notified Haz Mat, but because the sewage was treated, McKay says they did not respond.
“We just cleaned it up with our own vac truck,” he says.
