City Changes Solid Waste Pickup Schedule
Recycling, Yard Waste move to Alternate Weeks
Dear Neighbor,
Officials with the City of Atlanta's Department of Public Works decided to make a change to our trash, recycling, and yard waste pickup schedule.
Here's what we know, plus an infographic to help:
Household trash pickup will continue every week as normal.
Starting Monday, February 15, recycling will be collected on alternating weeks. This will be the plan for the next 90 days at least.
Starting Monday, February 22, regular yard trimmings will only be collected on the first and third week of every month.
Remember to schedule bulk item pickup for large items, furniture, tree limbs, 20+ bags of yard trimmings, etc. Just call ATL311 or use the app, available for Apple and Android devices.
Future schedule changes “will be made based on the number of COVID-19 cases experienced by the Department of Public Works," which appears to be the cause of this change.
More details appear in the infographic below. Learn more and set a reminder for the new collection schedule at www.atlantaga.gov/solidwaste, or call ATL311 at 404-546-0311.
