News Don't be talkin' trash lest you plan to haul it yo'self
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Tue, Feb 12, 2008 at 3:58 PM
Yo, Atlanta! You're about to see some changes in your trash service. Starting March 3, the city's Department of Public Works will shuffle collection days for most Atlanta residents and change some policies.
According to the press release, here are the major changes you'll see:
- New collection days for most customers
- Weekly collection of waste materials (garbage, recycling and yard waste)
- Yard waste will not be collected in plastic bags. It must be placed in paper yard waste (kraft) bags or a container clearly labeled “yard trimmings.â€
- Only five additional bags of garbage are allowed in addition to the contents of your Herbie Curbie for garbage collection.
To find out your new collection day or other information, call the DPW Customer Service Division at 404-330-6333 or visit www.atlantaga.gov.
