Cobb County has no county-run trash service; residents in unincorporated areas contract directly with private haulers (Waste Management, Republic, GFL). Most haulers run weekly pickup. County sets hauler licensing standards under Ch. 102.
Unlike many Georgia counties, Cobb County does NOT provide or contract county-wide residential garbage service. In unincorporated Cobb, each household contracts directly with a private hauler. Primary providers include Waste Management, Republic Services, GFL Environmental, and Red Oak Sanitation. Pickup is almost always weekly with a separate recycling day. Haulers are licensed under Ch. 102 of the Code (Solid Waste) and must meet truck, insurance, and customer-service standards. Municipalities (Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw, Acworth, Austell, Powder Springs) run their own programs. Bulk and yard-debris service varies by hauler contract. Report illegal dumping to Cobb Code Enforcement 770-528-2180 or the Keep Cobb Beautiful hotline.
Operating as hauler without Ch. 102 license: $500–$1,000 per day. Customer complaints about missed pickup handled between customer and hauler. Illegal dumping: O.C.G.A. §16-7-42 misdemeanor + restitution.
