Residents receive recycling service on the same day as their scheduled garbage collection.
If today is your scheduled pick-up day for weekly collection, please allow until the end of the day for collection to be completed.
If it is after the Department of Public Works’ normal business hours of 7AM – 5PM and the RECYCLING ON YOUR ENTIRE STREET WAS NOT COLLECTED, you may contact ATL311 at 404-546-0311 or create a request by completing the form below.
If your scheduled recycling collection is missed and is not reported as missed within two (2) business days, it will be collected on your next scheduled collection day.
To determine your service day, please visit the Waste Wizard link below and select the ‘My Schedule’ tab.

However, if YOU would like to participate, you MUST take the Orange Hefty Bags to the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHARM) located at 1110 Hill Street SE, Atlanta, GA 30315. Please DO NOT dispose of the Orange Hefty Bags in your recycling cart. If Orange Hefty Bags are in the cart, the cart will not be collected until removed.
