The City of Douglas is excited to participate in Georgia Cities Week, which is sponsored by the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA). Approaching the 26th year of Georgia Cities Week, it offers a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our community’s achievements and recognize the hard work of both volunteers and city employees. Last year, over 160 cities, including Douglas, participated in various programs and events to honor this week dedicated to celebrating Georgia’s cities. This year’s celebration will take place from April 21 to April 26, 2025, and will include a variety of events. The theme for this year’s Georgia Cities Week is “Imagine the Possible.”

“We take great pride in our city and the services we provide to both residents and visitors,” said Mayor Tony Paulk. “Cities play a crucial role in delivering essential infrastructure and services that promote business growth and create opportunities for events that unite families and individuals within the community.”

Georgia Cities Week will kick off on April 21, 2025, will kick off with Spring Junk Free Week and Tire Amnesty Week, Monday, April 21, through Friday, April 25, between 8:30 am – 4:30 pm at 1011 Shirley Avenue (corner of Shirley and College Park Dr.).  For citizens within the city limits of Douglas, fees will be waived during this one week for big household and junk items including up to 4 tires per household.  Proof of residency, such as a utility bill, is required.  No commercial and no farm tires will be accepted.  Rubber only – no rims.  Citizens must provide a copy of their utility bill as proof of residency and be in line by 4:15 PM. FMI: (912)389-3450.
