Spalding County, GA Trash & Recycling: Collection Schedule (2026)

Rather than fixing a weekly pickup day in the ordinance itself, § 4-2004(a) delegates that decision to the Board of Commissioners or its designee for both residential premises and commercial and business establishments alike. The schedule document is not published in the Code; it is held in the office of the clerk of the board, so residents confirm their route day there or through Public Works rather than by reading the ordinance text. The same delegation approach applies to cost: § 4-2006 lets the board fix charges for public collection and disposal and keep that fee schedule on file with the clerk instead of stating a dollar figure in the chapter.

Because frequency and fees are board actions rather than chapter text, the county can adjust a route's collection day or the fee amount without amending the ordinance itself. The chapter's other collection provisions still apply on whatever day is assigned: § 4-2003(d) requires placement at the curb on the designated day, and § 4-2004(b) still excludes industrial, asbestos, construction and demolition waste from that scheduled pickup regardless of route or fee changes.
