Curbside Recycling

Recycle Cart

Curbside Recycling Collection

Recyclables are picked up once a week from the curb by a recycling truck on your designated household garbage pick up day for subscription customers.

Residents may subscribe to the curbside Recycling Program for $144 during the enrollment period from March 1 - April 30. All payments must be paid in full at the time of enrollment. The City will not issue refunds or transfer the service to a new property throughout the 12-month period. Residents may opt in after the enrollment period at a prorated fee based on the 12-month service.  Please contact our office at 770-985-3527 for additional information.

Additionally, the City now offers a second Garbage Cart for $120 during the same 12-month service period as the Recycle Program. Please contact our office at 770-985-3527 for additional information.
