DeKalb County Sanitation (county-run) provides weekly curbside trash, weekly recycling, and weekly yard waste collection to unincorporated residents. Cities like Decatur and Dunwoody have separate contracts.
DeKalb County Sanitation is a county-operated enterprise fund serving unincorporated DeKalb and several cities that contract back with the county. Service includes weekly trash, weekly single-stream recycling, and weekly yard waste (spring through fall). Bins (95-gallon rollcarts for trash and recycling) must be curbside by 7 AM on the assigned collection day. Holiday schedules (New Year's, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas) push pickup back one day for the remainder of that week. Contaminated recycling carts are tagged and skipped. Cities of Decatur, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, Chamblee, Doraville, and Stonecrest administer their own collection contracts and fee schedules.
Missed-schedule fees waived on first offense. Repeated bin violations or contamination: $50 to $200 administrative fee. Service suspension possible for non-payment.
