FREE CURBSIDE BULK WASTE COLLECTION

Atlanta City Manager Danica Porter said that free bulk waste curbside collection is scheduled in Atlanta from December 2nd through December 6th. “Bulk waste will be collected at the same time as our customer’s polycart is serviced, so make sure everything’s out curbside before the trash trucks arrive”, Porter said. She added, “We have a limit of 3 cubic yards of bulk waste this year, which is about the size of a pickup bed.”

MONDAY DECEMBER 2ND THROUGH FRIDAY DECEMBER 6TH

“This is a great opportunity to make the community more attractive, get rid of unwanted junk and save money and time by avoiding trips to the landfill”, Porter said.

Acceptable items include household furniture, outdoor furniture, clothing, green waste (properly bagged), sticks and limbs that are bundled not exceeding four feet.

There are some limitations. Pick-up will be limited to 3 cubic yards, which is about the size of a pick-up bed. The city will not accept white goods or appliances, electronic waste, TV’s, tires, paints, oil, batteries, or other hazardous waste.

The City also reserves the right to refuse any item deemed to pose a health or safety risk.

Unacceptable items will be left at the curb.
