Bulk collections are scheduled on your regular weekly collection day. Bulk collections must be scheduled.

Please place garbage/recycling carts and yard trimmings (on yard trimming collection weeks) at least six (6) feet away from bulk items at curbside. Carts, yard trimmings and bulk placed too close together may result in one or both being delayed.
 

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 3:30 PM for collection to be completed.  

If it is after 3:30 PM and YOUR RECYCLING WAS NOT COLLECTED, you may contact ATL311 at 404-546-0311 or create a request by completing the form below.

NOTE: All recyclable items must be place inside the recycling cart for collection. Shredded paper may be placed in a plastic bag inside the recycling cart. Empty plastic bags and/or plastic bags containing anything else will result in the entire cart NOT being collected.
