City cost & eligibility
No charge. Up to six bags of yard waste are collected each week at no charge for a City of Powder Springs sanitation customer, with seven to twelve bags charged a published rate, thirteen to twenty bags charged a higher published rate, a twenty bag weekly maximum, a weight limit on each bag, and a work order required at least 48 business hours in advance once the load passes the free bag count. Brush collection is free for addresses inside the city limits within the published pile size. Charges appear on the next sanitation bill.
When & how
Yard waste and brush are collected on Mondays only, with everything at the curb the night before and out by 7 a.m. because the department cannot return later in the day, and the holiday weeks with no yard waste collection are listed on the city holiday schedule.

Can you pick up a loose pile of branches or yard waste?+
Contact our team for a custom quote. Text a photo of the whole pile, its approximate dimensions, your ZIP code and a view of the pickup access. We confirm the scope, price and scheduling before you book.
Can I book regular paper yard bags?+
The online item for this service is a standard contractor bag. If your yard debris is in another kind of bag, send a photo so our team can confirm the right booking.

What will not be collected in Powder Springs?+
Cardboard is not collected at the curb: it goes flattened to the drop off Recycling Center. Brush is limited to addresses inside the city limits, so a household outside the limits gets yard waste bags but not a brush pile. Plastic bags are prohibited for yard waste under state law, rocks, dirt, root balls, bricks and landscaping material are refused, and debris generated by a landscaper, contractor or tree service belongs to that contractor. 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
