Atlanta ISD officials encountered a stinky situation when they received a report of a dog carcass inside the recycle bin located at the former Horne Enterprise building on Louise Street on Wednesday.
Donna Rice with the Atlanta ISD met with city employees at the recycle bin to discuss what could be done about the deceased animal.
The company, Tri State Metal and Iron, which takes the recyclable paper would not take the bin due to the contamination by the animal and officials with the company said they could not even take the bin to their landfill because the landfill would not accept it.
