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

Sec. 12 recognizes that the city's contracted service providers will not run routes on designated holidays, capped at six dates a year: New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day are named outright, and the city manager sets three additional holiday dates. Rather than losing that week's pickup entirely, the code requires that customers be given an alternative collection date whenever a holiday falls on their scheduled route day. The holiday shift sits within the broader collection-schedule framework of Sec. m. Because the specific make-up dates depend on which three extra holidays the city manager designates in a given year, residents should confirm the current holiday list and shifted pickup dates through the city's Solid Waste Coordinator or the service provider's published route calendar rather than assuming a fixed nationwide holiday schedule.

The mandatory-service structure in Sec. 2 still applies during holiday weeks: every enrolled residence remains entitled to its collection, just on the substituted date rather than the regular one.
