City collection The city publishes no furniture item list, so a couch or another large household piece has to be confirmed as bulk trash at the curb for a fee before it goes out. No furniture rate is published. Confirm with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780 that the piece counts as bulk trash and ask for the current fee, remembering that no bulk pickup fee applies during April.
City collection No city page names a mattress, so the local answer is a confirm, with the scheduled bulk trash route as the city option and a regional drop-off that publishes its own mattress fee. The city publishes no mattress category or rate, so confirm with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780 that a mattress goes out as bulk trash, and ask for the fee. Live Thrive's CHaRM drop-off in Atlanta lists mattresses and box springs at its own published resident fee and requires an appointment.
City collection The city's own form is a bulk pickup and appliance pick up ticket with an items field and an amount due field, so appliances are collected as a ticketed service even though no price is printed. The bulk pickup document is an appliance pick up ticket that carries an amount due, so the collection is charged, but no public page prints the rate. Confirm the per item charge with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780, or use the CHaRM drop-off, which publishes its own per appliance fee for residents.
City collection The city collects residential trash behind the house once a week on the route for the address, and the sanitation service is part of the city utility account rather than a private subscription. The city publishes no standalone residential garbage rate because sanitation is billed on the city utility account. Confirm the current charge and the collection day for the address with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780.
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?
College Park runs its own sanitation service inside the city limits, and the Department of Public Works lists behind-the-house residential trash pick-up, yard debris at the curb, bulk trash collection at the curb for a fee, brush, limbs and tree trunks, and recycling drop-off sites. Bulk trash is a scheduled service and April is Clean-Up Month, when the city waives bulk pickup fees. Construction debris is refused, with wood boards, fencing, flooring tiles and roofing materials named as examples of what the city will not take. The city publishes no fee schedule, item list or electronics drop-off for the household streams, so every rate here is a confirm instruction rather than a number, and the two recycling sites take only cardboard, plastic, newspaper and magazines, and mixed glass. For the items the city does not name, Live Thrive's CHaRM drop-off in Atlanta publishes its own appointment hours and fees for mattresses, appliances, electronics and televisions, and it is offered as a regional alternative rather than as a city service.
The city collects residential trash behind the house once a week on the route for the address, and the sanitation service is part of the city utility account rather than a private subscription.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no standalone residential garbage rate because sanitation is billed on the city utility account. Confirm the current charge and the collection day for the address with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780.
When & how
Once a week on the sanitation route for the address. The city publishes a sanitation collections schedule and a holiday schedule with route shifts, so check the current schedule before a holiday week.
Get it ready
Put the household material out for the behind-the-house residential service on the collection day. The city lists yard debris, brush, limbs and tree trunks, bulk trash and recycling as separate services, so keep those streams out of the regular household trash.
Bulk trash is collected at the curb as a scheduled service for a fee, and the city waives bulk pickup fees throughout April, which it calls Clean-Up Month.
City cost & eligibility
The city states that bulk trash is collected at the curb for a fee but publishes no rate, and the April clean-up month removes the bulk pickup fee for that month. Confirm the current charge and the item count when the collection is scheduled with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780.
When & how
Schedule the collection with the Sanitation Division, then put the load at the curb. April is the city's Clean-Up Month, when no bulk pickup fee applies, and construction material is not part of the service at any time of year.
Get it ready
Keep the load at the curb in the city right of way and keep household trash, yard debris and recyclables separate from it. Keep construction material out of the pile, because the city names wood boards, fencing, flooring tiles and roofing materials as debris it does not accept.
The city publishes no furniture item list, so a couch or another large household piece has to be confirmed as bulk trash at the curb for a fee before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No furniture rate is published. Confirm with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780 that the piece counts as bulk trash and ask for the current fee, remembering that no bulk pickup fee applies during April.
When & how
Call the Sanitation Division to arrange the bulk collection, then put the piece at the curb on the collection day the city gives you.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the household trash and off the sidewalk, and keep construction material out of the same pile, because the city refuses wood boards, fencing, flooring tiles and roofing materials. Take cushions and loose parts off the frame so the crew can handle it.
No city page names a mattress, so the local answer is a confirm, with the scheduled bulk trash route as the city option and a regional drop-off that publishes its own mattress fee.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no mattress category or rate, so confirm with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780 that a mattress goes out as bulk trash, and ask for the fee. Live Thrive's CHaRM drop-off in Atlanta lists mattresses and box springs at its own published resident fee and requires an appointment.
When & how
Either confirm the bulk trash collection with the Sanitation Division and set the mattress out on the day you are given, or book an appointment at CHaRM Atlanta on a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the household trash, and keep it off the street until the confirmed collection day. A mattress taken to CHaRM must still have its springs and must be dry and not excessively soiled or bug infested, because crib and baby mattresses, futons, foam toppers, air mattresses and memory foam mattresses are refused there.
The city's own form is a bulk pickup and appliance pick up ticket with an items field and an amount due field, so appliances are collected as a ticketed service even though no price is printed.
City cost & eligibility
The bulk pickup document is an appliance pick up ticket that carries an amount due, so the collection is charged, but no public page prints the rate. Confirm the per item charge with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780, or use the CHaRM drop-off, which publishes its own per appliance fee for residents.
When & how
Request the appliance collection through the Sanitation Division and put the unit out on the day the city confirms, or book a CHaRM appointment for a drop-off trip.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it out of the household trash. Take the doors off a refrigerator or freezer and keep the refrigerant work to the receiving operation, and keep loose parts, hoses and cords secured so the unit can be handled. A unit going to CHaRM should be clean enough to be sorted, and alkaline and car batteries are refused there.
The city publishes no electronics drop-off: its recycling sites take cardboard, plastic, newspaper and magazines, and mixed glass, so a device has to be confirmed locally or taken to the regional CHaRM drop-off.
City cost & eligibility
No city electronics route or rate is published, so confirm with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780 whether a device can be taken to a city event or must go elsewhere. The CHaRM drop-off takes most electronics at no fee and charges its own fee for televisions and monitors.
When & how
Confirm with the Sanitation Division first, or book a CHaRM appointment for a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday trip to the Atlanta site.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers, tablets and phones before they leave the house, and keep devices with a battery out of the household trash and out of the recycling cart. Batteries go to a household hazardous waste route rather than the recycling drop-off, and CHaRM refuses alkaline and car batteries.
The city names no television route and no screen fee, while the CHaRM drop-off accepts televisions and monitors and publishes a per screen resident fee.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no television rate, so confirm with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780 whether a screen can go out with a bulk collection. The CHaRM drop-off takes televisions and monitors for its own published per screen resident fee, so ask for that price when you book.
When & how
Confirm the city route first, or book a CHaRM appointment for a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday drop-off.
Get it ready
Keep the screen whole and out of the household trash and the recycling carts, remove the stand, cables and loose batteries, and wipe any smart television before it leaves the house. Never put a screen in a recycling cart at either city drop-off site.
Construction debris is not accepted, and the city names wood boards, fencing, flooring tiles and roofing materials as examples of what it refuses.
City cost & eligibility
The city refuses construction debris and publishes no rate or alternative for it, so confirm the disposal options and any charge with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780 or with a private hauler before the material leaves the property.
When & how
There is no city collection day for project material, so arrange the disposal separately and keep the load off the curb and out of every other service while that is arranged.
Get it ready
Keep wood boards, fencing, flooring tiles and roofing materials out of the bulk pile and the household trash, because the city names them as debris it does not accept. Sort heavy inert material from mixed debris and keep paints, solvents and other chemicals out of the load entirely.
Exercise equipment is not named anywhere in the city's published material, so a treadmill or a weight machine has to be confirmed as bulk trash before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise equipment category or rate is published. Call the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780 and confirm whether the machine is accepted as bulk trash and what the fee would be, remembering that the bulk fee is waived during April.
When & how
Confirm the machine first, then arrange the bulk trash collection with the Sanitation Division and put it out on the day you are given.
Get it ready
Break the machine down where it allows, take loose weights, pedals and straps off, and keep any console or battery separate so nothing with a battery goes into the household trash. Keep the machine off the sidewalk and out of the regular trash while the answer is pending.
The city runs two self-service recycling drop-off sites for residents, and the accepted material is cardboard, plastic, newspaper and magazines, and mixed glass.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no fee for the recycling drop-off sites, so confirm the current terms with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780 if anything about the trip is unclear.
When & how
The Herschel Road site opens Tuesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the Harvard Avenue site is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. as a self-service drop-off.
Get it ready
Sort the material to the published list of cardboard, plastic, newspaper and magazines, and mixed glass, and keep electronics, appliances, mattresses and household hazardous material out of the load, because none of those are named at either site.
Schedule the bulk trash before it reaches the curb
Bulk trash is a scheduled curbside service arranged with the Sanitation Division, and the city collects it at the curb for a fee. April is Clean-Up Month, when no bulk pickup fee applies, and construction material is refused all year, with wood boards, fencing, flooring tiles and roofing materials named as examples. Keep household trash, yard debris and recyclables in their own streams rather than in the bulk pile.
Residential trash is collected behind the house once a week on the route for the address, and the city provides sanitation along with electric, water, sewer and storm water inside the incorporated limits. Keep the load to household trash, because the city lists yard debris and shrubbery, brush, limbs and tree trunks, bulk trash and recycling drop-off as separate services with their own arrangements.
Residents can drop off cardboard, plastic, newspaper and magazines, and mixed glass at the Herschel Road and Frontage Road site, which opens Tuesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or at 1904 Harvard Avenue, which is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. as a self-service site. Electronics, appliances, mattresses and household hazardous material are not on that list, so keep them out of the load.
The city publishes a sanitation holiday schedule that lists the days with no service and the route shifts that follow, and the page links a downloadable schedule together with a current holiday schedule document. Check the current version before a holiday week, because the printed dates on the page are from an earlier year, and call the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780 if the route for the address is unclear.
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.
City of College Park Department of Public Works, Sanitation Division
Schedule a curbside bulk trash pickup with the city
A College Park household with furniture, a mattress, an exercise machine or another large item that does not belong in the weekly household trash.
Cost & conditions
The city collects bulk trash at the curb for a fee and publishes no rate, and the April clean-up month waives the bulk pickup fee. Confirm the current charge with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780.
Arrange it
Call the Sanitation Division at 404-669-3780 on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to schedule the collection and to confirm the items the city will take, then put the load at the curb on the day you are given.
The city publishes no bulk item list, so anything other than a plainly large household item has to be confirmed, and construction material is refused, with wood boards, fencing, flooring tiles and roofing materials named as examples.
City of College Park Department of Public Works, Sanitation Division
Use the city appliance pick up ticket
A household with a large appliance such as a refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer, stove or water heater.
Cost & conditions
The city's own form is a bulk pickup and appliance pick up ticket with an amount due field and no printed price, so confirm the per item charge with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780.
Arrange it
Call the Sanitation Division at 404-669-3780 to arrange the appliance collection, then put the unit out on the day the city confirms.
The ticket records the resident, the address, the items and an amount due, so the service is charged, but no public page prints the rate and the city names no appliance list.
Take hard-to-recycle items to the CHaRM drop-off in Atlanta
A household with a mattress, a large appliance, a television, a monitor or another electronic item that the city does not name.
Cost & conditions
From $15 each appliance at CHaRM for residents, with mattresses and box springs at $15 for twin or full size and $18 for queen or king, televisions and monitors at $25 each, and most other electronic items at no fee. Live Thrive CHaRM Atlanta, 1110 Hill St SE, and CHaRM DeKalb, 1225 Columbia Dr, Decatur. An appointment is required. These are the drop-off's own fees rather than a city charge, and alkaline and car batteries are refused.
Arrange it
Book an appointment on the CHaRM site, then drive to the Atlanta site on a Tuesday or Thursday between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. or on a Saturday between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., and show the appointment code on arrival.
CHaRM is a nonprofit material recovery drop-off rather than a city or county agency, so its item list takes priority over anything printed elsewhere, it refuses some mattress types and alkaline and car batteries, and no cash is accepted on site.
City of College Park Department of Public Works, Sanitation Division
Use a city recycling drop-off site
A household with cardboard, plastic, newspaper and magazines, or mixed glass to drop off rather than put in the household trash.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no fee for the recycling drop-off sites, so confirm the current terms with the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780.
Arrange it
Use the Herschel Road and Frontage Road site on a Tuesday or Saturday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., or the self-service site at 1904 Harvard Avenue, which is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The published list is cardboard, plastic, newspaper and magazines, and mixed glass only, so electronics, appliances, mattresses and household hazardous material have to go elsewhere.
Self haul in College Park means one city drop-off and one regional alternative. The city runs two self-service recycling sites for residents, at the Herschel Road and Frontage Road intersection on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and at 1904 Harvard Avenue daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the published list there is cardboard, plastic, newspaper and magazines, and mixed glass. Everything the city does not name, including mattresses, large appliances, televisions, monitors and other electronics, is available at Live Thrive's CHaRM drop-off at 1110 Hill St SE in Atlanta, by appointment on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a second site on Columbia Drive in Decatur; that drop-off publishes its own resident fees, requires an appointment, refuses some mattress types and refuses alkaline and car batteries. Construction debris is refused by the city with wood boards, fencing, flooring tiles and roofing materials named as examples, and no city alternative for that material is published, so a project load has to be arranged with a private hauler. Household chemicals and paint can also go to CHaRM, where the first 20 pounds are free for residents and anything above that is charged by weight, and the city names an annual Citywide Household Hazardous Waste and Shredder Event in April as its own household hazardous route.

Does a bulk trash pickup cost anything in College Park?+

Do I need to schedule a bulk trash pickup?+
Yes. Bulk trash is a scheduled curbside service arranged with the Sanitation Division rather than a self-serve curbside pile, so call the Department of Public Works at 404-669-3780 on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to set the collection and to confirm the items it will take.Official guidance

How are appliances collected in College Park?+
