CHANGES IN CITY OF ATLANTA YARD REFUSE AND BULK RUBBISH PICK-UP
Effective September 16, 2002, the Department of Public Works will begin scheduling bulk rubbish collections. The collection is by appointment only. October 14, 2002 is the first date that bulk rubbish will be collected under these procedures. To schedule an appointment, call 404-330-6333 between the hours of 9:00a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and speak to a Solid Waste Customer Service Representative in order to receive a work order number and a collection appointment date.

Public Works is initiating a state of the art call center program to handle the projected call load for the appointments. The system will emulate best practices used in several other cities and counties and will be operational by October 14th. Until that time, the City is placing a moratorium on bulk rubbish and asking all residents to refrain from placing bulk rubbish on the street. While the City will accept phone calls to schedule appointments for pick-up, the appointments will not begin until October 14th.

In the event that citizens do not use the call center to schedule appointments, the City is considering several options that require Council approval. Public Works is proposing that the City first issue a Courtesy Notice of Violation, then a citation followed by a fine. The second and third measures require legislative approval.

Beginning October 7, 2002, yard trimmings will be collected twice per month, based on your garbage collection day. If your garbage is collected on Monday or Tuesday, then your yard trimmings will be collected during the 1st and 3rd week of each month.

If your garbage collection day is Wednesday or Thursday, then your yard trimmings will be collected during the 2nd and 4th week of each month. Public Works requests that you set debris at curbside no later than the weekend prior to your collection week.
