Forsyth County runs no curbside trash service. Residents outside Cumming hire a licensed private hauler or self-haul bagged trash to one of three county convenience centers. Haulers may collect only 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
Unlike many suburban counties, Forsyth County government provides no curbside garbage or recycling pickup. Households arrange service directly with a private subscription hauler registered with the county, or self-haul their own bagged household trash to a convenience center. County code makes each property owner responsible for getting solid waste to a lawful disposal facility unless they contract a permitted collector. Registered haulers servicing residential areas may run trucks only between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. There is no set county pickup day; your day depends on the hauler you choose.
Collecting waste for a fee without county authorization violates the solid-waste code. Letting trash accumulate unsightly on your property is a nuisance, with each day a separate violation.
