Garbage & Debris Collection

Leaves and Grass Clippings

Grass clippings and leaves must be placed in brown paper bags or a city-issued brown bin. Plastic bags are not permitted – they are not compatible with the machines at the county transfer station. Bagging (or binning) prevents stormwater drain clogs and reduces hazardous conditions on our sidewalks and streets.

NEW! Brown Bins

We are pleased to offer a brown wheeled bin (similar to your garbage bin) to make collecting your debris easier. The cost of each bin is $60 and we will cover half. If you would like a brown bin, a one-time charge of $30 will be added to your utility bill. Only city-issued brown bins may be used due to truck compatibility requirements.

To order, email the account name and service address to utilitybilling@carrollton-ga.gov or call 770-830-2000.

Brush, Limbs and Logs

Sticks, limbs and logs should be cut into four-foot or smaller lengths and placed into piles for pick up. They do not need to be bagged or binned. 

Placement

Place bagged debris, bins or limbs at the edge of your property near the curb, but away from stormwater drains. Debris is picked up every other week. Download the 2022 schedule.

Additional fees will be charged for debris piles that exceed two cubic yards. See the sidebar for information about disposing of other items.
