Yesterday the Office of Solid Waste Services launched a new solid waste collection process that will establish long-term improvements in operations, customer service and environmental sustainability. The new collection improvements will not only create a more cost-efficient collection process, but residents will benefit from a safer, cleaner and greener Atlanta. The most noticeable changes in the new solid waste collection process include:
- New collection days for most customers
- Weekly collection of waste materials (garbage, recycling and yard waste)
- Yard waste will not be collected in plastic bags. It must be placed in paper yard waste (kraft) bags or a container clearly labeled “yard trimmings"
- Only 5 additional bags of garbage are allowed in addition to the contents of your Herbie Curbie for garbage collection
For more information and to do a search of the online directory which indicates collection days by street, visit http://www.atlantaga.gov/government/publicworks/swsi_013008.aspx
