South Fulton, GA Trash & Recycling: Collection Schedule (2026)

Sec. 4(a) sets the baseline schedule: solid waste must be collected at least once a week from every private residence, while commercial customers can order additional pickups under whatever contract they have with a city-approved service provider. m. Subsection (c) gives the city manager or a designee authority to adjust collection times to accommodate special events or declared emergencies, such as storm cleanup. The schedule sits inside the broader mandatory-service structure of Sec. 2, which requires every residence to be enrolled in the city's collection program at a council-set fee, and it works together with the holiday shift schedule in Sec.

12, which moves the pickup date whenever a recognized holiday falls on a customer's route day. Residents who need help getting containers to the curb because of a medical condition can also request non-curbside assistance under Sec. 13, which requires a doctor's written verification and limits the service to residents living alone or with others unable to place containers themselves. That assistance request goes through the City of South Fulton Solid Waste Coordinator and may require renewed documentation.
