You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

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.
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.
Furniture and appliances leave on a work ordered special pickup at the regular collection day, charged per item, with limits on how many pieces a household may set out in a week.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 per item, starting at the minimum charged for a smaller bulk item, with chairs at 15 dollars or 25 dollars when upholstered, mattresses and box springs at 35 dollars each, sofas and recliners at 30 dollars each, washers, dryers, stoves and hot water heaters at 35 dollars each, refrigerators at 50 dollars each and televisions from 10 dollars by screen size, plus additional bag and box charges. A City of Powder Springs sanitation customer with a work order arranged at least 24 business hours before the next regular collection day. No more than two appliances or four furniture items are collected in a week.
When & how
Call the Sanitation Department on 770-943-8010 or submit the online form at least 24 business hours before the next regular collection day, and put the items out for that day. Items left out without a work order stay at the curb.
Get it ready
Take apart swing sets other than wooden ones, trampolines and basketball goals, empty refrigerators and freezers of all liquids and food, remove the doors from every appliance, keep the count within two appliances or four furniture items for the week, and report a smaller bulk item when the work order is placed because those are charged a minimum each.
The cart goes at the curb right of way the night before the collection day, the department does not return when a cart is missed, and vehicles should stay out of the street so the truck can maneuver. All garbage must fit inside the city issued cart, anything extra has to be bagged or boxed under a work order with additional charges, all trash should be bagged so it does not blow out when the cart is dumped, and hot ashes, hot liquids and flammables stay out. Carts are city property: a replacement is free for normal wear and tear, but damage from theft, a vehicle, an animal or paint costs the cart deposit.
A bulk pickup is arranged on 770-943-8010 or through the online form at least 24 business hours before the next regular collection day, and an item left out without a work order stays at the curb. Swing sets other than wooden ones, trampolines and basketball goals have to be disassembled, refrigerators and freezers have to be empty of liquids and food, and appliance doors have to be removed before collection.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
How does trash collection work in Powder Springs?+

The cart is city property and goes at the curb right of way the night before the collection day, all trash has to be bagged and fit inside the cart, and anything extra has to be bagged or boxed under a work order because additional charges apply. Hot ashes, hot liquids and flammables stay out of the cart, and broken glass or mirrors go in a labeled container.Official guidance
How do I get a couch or appliance picked up in Powder Springs?+
Call the Sanitation Department on 770-943-8010 or use the online form at least 24 business hours before your next regular collection day and ask for a work order, because items left out without one stay at the curb. The pickup is charged per item, with each item priced by type and size on the published schedule, from chairs and grills through mattresses, sofas, recliners, appliances and televisions, and no more than two appliances or four furniture items are taken in a week. Appliance doors have to be removed and refrigerators and freezers emptied of food and liquid first.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Powder Springs?+
The City of Powder Springs Sanitation Department collects trash weekly and yard waste and brush on Mondays for residents, and the service is required for anyone inside the city limits under City Code Chapter 11 Section 43, with no outside private collectors allowed to operate in the city. The department works from 3006 Springs Industrial Drive and answers on 770-943-8010, with billing questions on 770-943-1666 extension 318 and office hours Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.Official guidance

What will not be collected in Powder Springs?+

At the drop off center, bagged recyclables, plastic bags and film, styrofoam, appliances, plate glass, windows, mirrors, ceramics, aerosol cans, foil and spiral wound containers are all refused.Official guidance
