1. What is my day of service?: Type in your address here. Remember that household trash, recycling, yard waste, and bulky waste all go to the curb on the same day

2. I need a new trash can.: Is your trash can damaged, or the wheel has come off? Notify us here, or call 311 to make a request for replacement or repair. Please note, that we do not replace cans just because they are dirty or smell bad. We are glad to provide advice on cleaning your can and reducing any odors in the future. Once you make a request for repair, please leave the can at the curb and we will be there within 2 business days.

3. My yard waste or bulky waste wasn’t picked up.: Please call 311 or submit a request online. This is usually because the material is “out of compliance” in some way. We would like to review your account so that we can provide you specific information to help you as much as possible. Also see: http://www.augustaga.gov/2579/Out-of-Compliance-Information
