City collection Weekly curbside trash collection is required for addresses inside the city limits, everything has to fit the city issued cart, and extra trash needs a work order. Call the Sanitation Department on 770-943-8010 or billing on 770-943-1666 extension 318 and confirm the current charge for the account, because the residential service is billed through the city utility account separately from the per item bulk charges and the yard waste bag tiers.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Powder Springs collects its own trash. Weekly curbside service is required for anyone inside the city limits, no outside private collector may operate there, and everything has to fit in the city issued cart, with anything extra bagged or boxed under a work order and charged. Furniture and appliances do not go in the cart at all: the Sanitation Department collects them as special and bulk items on the next regular collection day for a per item fee, arranged on 770-943-8010 at least 24 business hours ahead, with no more than two appliances or four furniture items a week, swings and trampolines taken apart, appliance doors removed and refrigerant units emptied of food and liquid. Yard waste is a Monday route of grass clippings, leaves and pine straw in biodegradable paper bags, free up to six bags a week and charged on a scale above that with a 20 bag weekly ceiling, while brush is a separate Monday pile for addresses inside the city limits only. Cardboard is not collected at the curb: the city drop off Recycling Center at 3006 Springs Industrial Drive takes flattened boxes and packaging on weekend hours from March through December and on Saturdays only in January and February.

City cost & eligibility
Call the Sanitation Department on 770-943-8010 or billing on 770-943-1666 extension 318 and confirm the current charge for the account, because the residential service is billed through the city utility account separately from the per item bulk charges and the yard waste bag tiers.
When & how
Trash is collected weekly on the route for the address, with the cart at the curb right of way the night before, and the department does not return when a cart is missed.
Get it ready
Keep all garbage inside the city issued cart, bag everything so nothing blows out when the cart is emptied, keep hot ashes, hot liquids and flammables out of the cart, containerize broken glass and mirrors and label the container, keep vehicles off the street on collection day, and request a work order for anything that will not fit because extra trash has to be bagged or boxed and carries an additional charge.
