City collection Buford does not name furniture in what curbside trash includes or in what the department refuses, so a couch has to be confirmed. The practical route is a special pickup arranged with City Hall, which is what the city tells residents to do when material cannot go out on the designated day. The city publishes no furniture rate and does not list furniture either way, so the charge has to be confirmed when the pickup is arranged. Call the City of Buford at 770-945-6761, or file the online citizen service request, and ask whether the piece goes out as curbside trash or needs a special pickup and what it costs.
City collection Mattresses are not named in the city's curbside trash description or in its refusal list, so the route has to be confirmed with City Hall before the piece goes out. No mattress rate and no mattress rule is published, so confirm the item, the route and any charge with the City of Buford at 770-945-6761 before setting it out.
City collection Appliances are not named in the city's curbside list or its refusal list, so a refrigerator, washer or dryer has to be confirmed with City Hall or the county. The city publishes no appliance rate, so confirm the route and any charge at 770-945-6761. If the city will not take the unit as curbside trash or on a special pickup, the county solid waste programme at 770.822.7141 runs hard-to-recycle events through the year and can confirm what it accepts.
City collection Buford's second curbside stream, called curbside trash, covers yard waste, tree limbs and small junk items that accumulate in a garage or basement, and anything that cannot go out on the designated day is arranged as a special pickup through City Hall. The city publishes no rate for curbside trash or for a special pickup on the pages read, so confirm the charge with the City of Buford at 770-945-6761 when the pickup is arranged.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Buford runs its own Sanitation Department, and the city describes its curbside service by what it takes rather than by a bulky item catalogue. Household garbage goes in a covered container with liners on the designated pickup day for the address, and the second stream, called curbside trash, covers yard waste, tree limbs and small junk items that accumulate in a garage or basement, set out by 7 a.m. on the pickup day or after 5 p.m. the day before. Anything that cannot go out on the designated day is arranged as a special pickup by calling City Hall at 770-945-6761, which is also how a resident asks about a couch, a mattress, an appliance or a television, because the city does not name those items either way. What the city does name is what its crews will not take: tires, batteries, paint cans, rocks, dirt, brick, carpet and building materials, along with any commercial or construction material from tree work, lawn maintenance or renovation, which the contractor or the owner has to dispose of. Yard material has the most detailed published rules, including the leaf vacuum that runs from November 1 through March 31.
Buford does not name furniture in what curbside trash includes or in what the department refuses, so a couch has to be confirmed. The practical route is a special pickup arranged with City Hall, which is what the city tells residents to do when material cannot go out on the designated day.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no furniture rate and does not list furniture either way, so the charge has to be confirmed when the pickup is arranged. Call the City of Buford at 770-945-6761, or file the online citizen service request, and ask whether the piece goes out as curbside trash or needs a special pickup and what it costs.
When & how
Call 770-945-6761 during the department's office hours, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, and set the item out only once the pickup is arranged, at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the pickup day or after 5:00 p.m. the day before.
Get it ready
Keep the piece off the curb until the city confirms the route, keep it clear of the container and the yard waste pile, and keep construction material, tires, batteries, paint cans, rocks, dirt, brick and carpet out of the load because those are refused outright.
Mattresses are not named in the city's curbside trash description or in its refusal list, so the route has to be confirmed with City Hall before the piece goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress rate and no mattress rule is published, so confirm the item, the route and any charge with the City of Buford at 770-945-6761 before setting it out.
When & how
Call 770-945-6761 during office hours and set the mattress out only once the city confirms the pickup, at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the pickup day or after 5:00 p.m. the day before.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and off the curb until the pickup is confirmed, and keep it away from the limb and brush pile so the piles stay separate as the city requires.
Appliances are not named in the city's curbside list or its refusal list, so a refrigerator, washer or dryer has to be confirmed with City Hall or the county.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no appliance rate, so confirm the route and any charge at 770-945-6761. If the city will not take the unit as curbside trash or on a special pickup, the county solid waste programme at 770.822.7141 runs hard-to-recycle events through the year and can confirm what it accepts.
When & how
Call the city during office hours before setting the appliance out, and use the county contact only if the city declines the item.
Get it ready
Empty the unit first, keep it out of the covered garbage container, and keep refrigerant units away from the curb until the receiving route is confirmed.
Electronics are not named in the city's curbside list, and the city's refusal list does name batteries, so a television or computer has to be confirmed. Gwinnett County's hard-to-recycle events are the published county route.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no electronics rate and does not name the devices either way, so confirm the route with the City of Buford at 770-945-6761. Gwinnett County Solid Waste Management holds events through the year for hard-to-recycle items and can confirm whether a screen is accepted, at 770.822.7141 on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or by email.
When & how
Call the city first, and if the device is not a curbside or special pickup item, ask the county about its next hard-to-recycle event.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep batteries and paint cans out of the load because the city names both as items it does not collect, and keep the device out of the garbage container.
Construction and commercial material is refused at the curb. The city states that no commercial or construction material is allowed for curbside pickup and that material from tree work, lawn maintenance or home repair and renovation has to be disposed of by the contractor or the owner, and building materials are also on the list of items the department does not collect.
City cost & eligibility
No city rate exists for construction material because the city does not collect it at the curb and directs residents to the county for disposal of building materials. A private container or hauling company quotes its own price, and the county contact at 770.822.7141 can confirm the receiving route.
When & how
There is no city collection day for renovation material. Arrange a private container or a receiving site before the work produces debris, because the contractor or property owner is responsible for removing it.
Get it ready
Keep building materials, rock, dirt, brick and carpet out of the curb pile, because the city names all of them as items its crews do not collect, and keep construction debris away from the yard waste and limb piles, which are reserved for plant material.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's curbside description or its refusal list, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No published entry covers an exercise machine, so confirm the route and any charge with the City of Buford at 770-945-6761 before the machine goes to the curb.
When & how
Call the city during office hours, then set the machine out only once the pickup is arranged, at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the pickup day or after 5:00 p.m. the day before.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its size when calling, take any console or battery pack off so it does not ride with the frame, and keep the load clear of the household garbage container and the yard waste pile.
Buford's second curbside stream, called curbside trash, covers yard waste, tree limbs and small junk items that accumulate in a garage or basement, and anything that cannot go out on the designated day is arranged as a special pickup through City Hall.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no rate for curbside trash or for a special pickup on the pages read, so confirm the charge with the City of Buford at 770-945-6761 when the pickup is arranged.
When & how
Put curbside trash out by 7:00 a.m. on the designated pickup day or after 5:00 p.m. the day before, and call City Hall at 770-945-6761 for a special pickup when the material cannot go out on the designated day.
Get it ready
Keep the pile free of the items the department refuses, which are tires, batteries, paint cans, rocks, dirt, brick, carpet and building materials, keep commercial and construction material out entirely, and keep household garbage in its covered container with liners rather than in the curb pile.
Yard material is the clearest part of the Buford programme. Leaves are vacuumed at the curb from November 1 through March 31 and bagged outside that window, grass clippings are bagged year round, and tree limbs are stacked neatly at the curb in a pile separate from brush and shrubbery.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the city curbside service, which collects yard waste, tree limbs and small junk items from residential addresses in Buford on the designated pickup day.
When & how
Put the material at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the designated pickup day or after 5:00 p.m. the day before. The leaf vacuum follows the curbside trash schedule from November 1 to March 31 and may run late on high volume days; outside that window leaves are bagged at the street.
Get it ready
Bag grass clippings year round and bag leaves outside the vacuum window, keep tree limbs and small trees neatly stacked and separate from brush and shrubbery, and keep trash, rock, brick and construction material out of the piles because those are refused.
Curbside trash goes out by 7 a.m. or after 5 p.m. the day before
Buford separates household garbage from everything else it calls curbside trash, and the second stream has its own clock: at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the designated pickup day or after 5:00 p.m. on the day before. Curbside trash covers yard waste, tree limbs and small junk items that accumulate in a garage or basement, and it has to be kept free of the items the department refuses.
If it cannot go out on the designated day, call City Hall
The city publishes one route for material that does not fit the normal schedule. When curbside trash cannot be placed at the curb on the designated day, the resident calls City Hall at 770-945-6761 for a special pickup or files the online citizen service request. That is also the number to use for anything the city does not name either way, including furniture, a mattress, an appliance, a television or an exercise machine, because none of those items appears in the curbside list or the refusal list.
The city names the materials its Sanitation Department does not collect: tires, batteries, paint cans, rocks, dirt, brick, carpet and building materials, with residents referred to the county for disposal. Commercial and construction material is refused as well, including material produced by tree work, lawn maintenance or home repair and renovation, which the contractor or the property owner has to remove. Household garbage goes in a covered container with plastic liners on the designated pickup day for the address.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Arrange it
Set curbside trash out by 7:00 a.m. on the designated pickup day or after 5:00 p.m. the day before, and call 770-945-6761 or file the online citizen service request when the material cannot go out then.

City of Buford Sanitation Department and Gwinnett County Solid Waste Management
Use the county hard-to-recycle events
A household with tires, batteries, paint cans or another item the city refuses and refers to the county.
Cost & conditions
Gwinnett County publishes that it holds events through the year for hard-to-recycle items but no rate for them on the page read, so confirm the next event and what it accepts with Gwinnett County Solid Waste Management at 770.822.7141.
Arrange it
Call 770.822.7141 on a weekday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., or email the county solid waste office, to find the next hard-to-recycle event.
The county page read here publishes the programme and contact details rather than a facility address or an item list, so acceptance and hours have to be confirmed before a trip.
A household or contractor with building material, rock, dirt, brick or carpet that Buford refuses and that the county route does not cover.
Cost & conditions
The city collects no construction material and publishes no rate for it, and the county page read here publishes contact details rather than a rate, so a private container company or the county sets the price, which has to be confirmed before the work starts.
Arrange it
Contact a licensed container or hauling company to place the box, and have the same company collect it when the work is finished.
The contractor or property owner is responsible for removing construction material, and nothing from a renovation goes out with the curbside trash route or into the yard waste and limb piles.
