In unincorporated Gwinnett, residents use franchised haulers assigned by zone (Republic Services, Waste Industries, etc.). Carts may be placed at curb no earlier than 6 PM day before pickup and must be removed by 6 AM day after.
Gwinnett Solid Waste Management Plan divides the unincorporated area into service zones; residents do not choose their own hauler. Carts must sit at least 3 ft from mailbox, fire hydrant, or parked vehicles. Carts stored between collections must be screened from public right-of-way per UDO. This bin placement rule under Gwinnett County's trash recycling ordinances applies to unincorporated areas of Gwinnett County. For current statutory text, amendments, enforcement procedures, fines, appeal options, and any exemptions that may apply to your situation, contact Gwinnett County code enforcement directly or consult the official Georgia municipal code library. Ordinances change periodically; always verify with local staff before relying on summary information.
Carts left at curb beyond allowed window: warning, then citation up to $1,000. Repeat offenders referred to code enforcement.
