Deer Dumpsters for Hunting Season in Lowndes County
This is something that I have never heard of. After thinking about it though it does make a lot of sense and would certainly help in discarding carcasses as well as curve possible health hazard issues.

Dispatch Staff Report
Deer-hunting season opens Oct. 1 and - for the fourth year in a row - trash bins specifically designated for deer carcasses will be placed throughout Lowndes County to accommodate hunters.
Bins - or “dumpsters†- will be placed in the same locations as last year, specifically on Grant Road, at Mini Motors on Highway 12, at the Fire Departments on Jess Lyons Road and on Highway 69 South, and in two locations at the New Hope High School football field.
Also, dumpsters will be placed at Bridge County Line on Old West Point Road, at Leroy’s Landing, on South Front Street in Artesia, on Carson Road and Old Macon Road South, at the intersection of Starkville and Fairport roads in Crawford and at the Rural Hill Fire Department.
The trash bins, which will be placed by crews from Golden Triangle Waste services, will be dumped into the landfill and only are to be used for deer carcasses, said County Administrator Nick Hairston.
