Garbage/refuse and recyclable containers should be those provided by ADS. All containers (waste, recycle, yard debris-provided by
ADS and/or individual owners) should be placed in one location with only the materials to be picked up in its proximity.

All yard debris should be containerized in either bags, ADS-provided or individually-owned containers. This includes all leaves,
grass clippings, plant material, small limbs, vines, hedge trimmings, etc. that can be fully containerized.

Tree limbs/trees and large debris that will not fit in containers must be placed at curb in accordance with City Code Sec. 15-56; i.e.
placed at curb in separate pile and all limbs/trees larger than 6 dbh must be cut into lengths not longer than 5 feet.

Trees, bushes, or other vegetation from commercial tree trimmers, landscapers or building contractors will not be picked up
by the city.

Debris will not be picked up from vacant lots unless a sanitation tax is paid to the city.
The city has limited pickup available based on debris type and amount. These items will be picked up only on regular pick up

weeks; must be approved and scheduled through Public Works, 470-294-2486. Minimum charge is $30.00.
The following items will not be picked up by the city: building materials; stumps; dirt; rocks; concrete products; automobile

bodies and parts; tires; paint; oil and other liquids; and feces. Return used tires to the dealer.
During the fall (Oct—Feb.) each year, leaves must be kept separated from other yard debris for pickup at curbside by leaf vacuum

equipment. During the remainder of the year, leaves must be containerized (bagged/container) for pickup.

You may transport normal home-generated refuse directly to DeKalb County Disposal Facilities.
For locations, operating hours and acceptable items at these facilities, call 404-294-2900.
