The local disposal guide

Will the city
take it?

Cumming splits its waste work with the county, and the split decides where anything goes. Inside the city limits the Streets Department runs a free curbside pickup on Mondays and Wednesdays for yard debris, old furniture, appliances, carpet and a small amount of building material, hauling better than five hundred tons of residents' yard debris a year. That same service refuses mattresses, tires, paint and hazardous materials outright, and it does not take electronics either. Everything else runs through Forsyth County, which states plainly that it does not provide curbside trash pickup and sends its city households back to the city on (770) 781-2019. The county's three convenience centres take bagged household trash, most recyclables free of charge, scrap metal including washers and dryers, and for a published fee the two streams the city will not touch: televisions and other electronics at the Tolbert Street centre, and tires at Coal Mountain.

City pickups run on Monday and Wednesday

The Cumming Street Department collects yard debris, old furniture, appliances, carpet and a limited amount of building material inside the city limits on its published Monday and Wednesday pickup days, at no charge. Put the material at the curb rather than against a fence and in an orderly pile, and call (770) 781-2019 with a question about a specific item.

Twelve bags, forty pounds each, and no tree work

Yard debris is limited to shrub pruning left at the curb and grass clippings and leaves in yard bags, with a twelve bag limit per pickup and no bag over forty pounds. Never blow grass or leaves into a drainage gutter. Tree debris is not removed except reasonable amounts of limbs, so a tree that comes down is the property owner's job through a contractor or a roll-off dumpster, while trees or limbs downed by a storm or ice on the right-of-way are still collected.

Appliances empty, and only an appliance at the curb

All appliances go to the curb for pickup, with freezers and refrigerators empty of food and other debris, and senior citizens or disabled individuals can ask the department for help once the unit is outside the home. The same service refuses mattresses, tires, paint and hazardous materials by name, so none of those belongs in the pile, and nothing brought into the city from another location is collected at all.

The county centres run on their own rules

The three Forsyth County convenience centres serve county residents only and accept no commercial or business waste, are open 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday and closed Sunday and on county holidays, and take cash only. Electronics are taken at Tolbert Street alone and tires at Coal Mountain alone, so a trip with both means two stops. Yard waste and hazardous materials are refused at all three, and bagged household trash is charged by the bag with a five bag daily limit.

A household inside the Cumming city limits with yard debris, old furniture, carpet, an appliance or a small amount of building material.

Arrange it
Put the material at the curb in an orderly pile for one of the department's Monday or Wednesday pickup days, with the yard debris inside the twelve bag limit and appliances emptied first.

Mattresses, tires, paint and hazardous materials are refused by name, tree removal is the property owner's responsibility, building material is capped at three full wheel barrows, and no material brought into the city from another location is collected.

Take electronics to the Tolbert Street centre

A Forsyth County household with a television, computer or other electronic item the city pickup will not take.

Cost & conditions
From $2 per item for electronics other than televisions, with a five dollar unlimited option for those items and televisions charged twelve dollars each. Forsyth County residents only, with no commercial or business waste accepted and cash only. Wooden console and rear projection televisions are refused.
Arrange it
Drive to 351 Tolbert Street in Cumming, the only one of the three county centres that takes electronics, open 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday and closed Sunday and on county holidays.

The centre is a convenience centre rather than a landfill, so it takes bagged household trash and recyclables only as specified, refuses yard waste and hazardous materials, and requires cash.

Take tires to the Coal Mountain centre

A Forsyth County household with up to six tires a week that the city pickup refuses.

Cost & conditions
From $3 per tire at the Coal Mountain convenience centre, with a higher charge for a tire that keeps its rim. Forsyth County residents only, with no commercial or business waste accepted and cash only.

Arrange it
Drive to 3560 Settingdown Road in Cumming, the only one of the three county centres that takes tires, open 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday.

The weekly limit and the cash requirement both apply, and the tires cannot be combined with an electronic drop-off because those are taken at a different centre.

Take bagged household trash to a county centre

A Forsyth County household with bagged household trash and no curbside contract.

Cost & conditions
From $0.5 per bag of household trash at a county convenience centre for customers who also bring recycling, with a higher rate for customers who do not recycle. Forsyth County residents only, no commercial or business waste, a five bag daily limit, a maximum bag size of 32 gallons and cash only.
Arrange it
Take the bags to any of the three convenience centres, and bring recycling on the same trip to qualify for the lower bag rate.

The centres accept bagged household trash and the specified recyclables only, so yard waste and hazardous materials have to go elsewhere and a renovation load is not part of this route.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Cumming is really a two agency system, so the first question is whether the address is inside the city limits. Inside the city, the Streets Department collects yard debris, old furniture, appliances, carpet and a small amount of building material free at the curb on Mondays and Wednesdays, with a twelve bag and forty pound limit on yard waste, a reasonable limb allowance and a blanket refusal of mattresses, tires, paint and hazardous materials, all described in the department's published guidelines and arranged by calling (770) 781-2019. Outside the city, or for the streams the city refuses, everything moves to Forsyth County, which states that it runs no curbside trash pickup and points city households back to the city. The county's three convenience centres at Tolbert Street, Old Atlanta and Coal Mountain take bagged household trash by the bag with a five bag daily limit and recyclables mostly free, and they split the fee streams: electronics at Tolbert Street only, with televisions priced per set and other electronics per item or unlimited, and tires at Coal Mountain only with a six tire weekly limit. All three are open 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday, closed Sunday and on county holidays, serve county residents only, take no business waste and accept cash only.

Can I book a pickup for today?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.

Do my items need to be outside when I book?
