The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Gainesville collects garbage once a week at the curb through its own Solid Waste Division, with recycling on the same day and everything in city-issued receptacles. The city splits its service in three: household garbage, curbside material that is too large for the garbage bag, and white goods, which it defines to include appliances and electronic waste such as computers, monitors and televisions. Curbside is limited to one cubic yard a week and four cubic yards a month without extra fees, white goods pickups are booked in advance on 770-532-0493 with a per-occurrence fee added to the water bill, and construction and demolition debris, hazardous material, liquids, tires and wet paint are refused. Mattresses, refrigerant units, tires and paint have published charges at the Hall County Landfill in Gainesville, which takes the loads the city will not.
Gainesville curbside covers occasional items too large for the garbage bag, limited to one cubic yard a week and four cubic yards a month without additional fees.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Gainesville solid waste customers, with curbside material within one cubic yard a week and four cubic yards a month collected without additional fees. Loads beyond that, and clean-out piles from attics, basements, rental turnovers, estates, evictions or storage buildings, fall outside the service.
When & how
Put the material at the curb on the collection day, bagged where it is loose, and keep it separate from household garbage because the two travel on different trucks to different landfills. Call the Solid Waste Division on 770-532-0493 with any question about the volume or a scheduled pickup.
Get it ready
Bag leaves, grass clippings and packing material or they will not be picked up, and keep biomedical waste, blocks, bricks, car parts, construction and demolition debris, dirt, explosives, flammables, hazardous materials, liquids, rocks, stumps, tires and wet paint out of the pile because the city refuses all of them.

When & how
Put the furniture at the curb on the collection day, separate from the household garbage, and call 770-532-0493 if the load is near the monthly limit or if a special pickup is needed.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the garbage cart and out of the recycling container, and remove anything the city refuses from the same load, including car parts, tires, liquids, wet paint and hazardous material.
Mattresses are not named by the city, and the Hall County Landfill charges ten dollars per item in addition to the weight of the load.
City cost & eligibility
$10 per mattress or box spring at the Hall County Landfill, charged in addition to the weight of the load, with a minimum tipping fee of 20 dollars covering the first 665 pounds and 60 dollars a ton above that. Hall County generated waste at the county landfill in Gainesville, which is open to loads generated in the county.
When & how
Take the mattress to the Hall County Landfill on 1700 Oakbrook Drive in Gainesville, or put it out through the city curbside route if it fits inside the one cubic yard weekly and four cubic yard monthly limits. The city Solid Waste Division answers at 770-532-0493 and the county landfill division at 770-535-8284.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the recycling container, and either deliver it with a covered load or keep it inside the city curbside volume limits. The landfill is closed on listed holidays, and only waste generated in Hall County is accepted there.
The city collects appliances as white goods on a scheduled special pickup, with a per-occurrence fee added to the water bill.
City cost & eligibility
The city states that white goods and special pickups carry an additional per-occurrence fee that appears on the next water bill and is based on what is picked up, and it publishes no amount. Call the Solid Waste Division at 770-532-0493 to schedule and to confirm the fee for the units involved.
When & how
Call 770-532-0493 in advance to book the white goods pickup, because the city only runs it when equipment and personnel are available, and put the appliance out on the day the division gives you.
Get it ready
Never put an appliance or electronic item at the curb before the pickup is arranged, because the city states that doing so violates its regulations. Empty the unit, and note that the county landfill also charges 10 dollars for a single refrigerant unit and 12 dollars each when several are delivered together.
Electronic waste is inside the city's white goods definition, so computers, monitors, televisions and stereo equipment are collected on the same scheduled special pickup.
City cost & eligibility
Electronic waste is treated as a white good, so it carries the same additional per-occurrence fee that appears on the next water bill and is based on what is collected, and no amount is published. Book the pickup and confirm the fee with the Solid Waste Division at 770-532-0493.
When & how
Call 770-532-0493 in advance, because the white goods pickup runs only when equipment and personnel are available, and put the device out on the scheduled day rather than before the arrangement is made.
Get it ready
Keep televisions, monitors and computers out of the curbside pile and out of the recycling container, and never set them out before the pickup is booked, because that is a violation of city regulations. Do not put the device in a load bound for the compactor sites, which take only recyclables, textiles, motor oil and bagged garbage.
Exercise equipment is not named on the city's curbside, white goods or prohibited lists, so the machine has to be confirmed before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no list that names exercise equipment, and the curbside route is defined by size and volume rather than by item type while the white goods route is a closed appliance and electronics list. Call the Solid Waste Division at 770-532-0493 and confirm whether the machine can go out within the curbside limits or needs a scheduled pickup with its per-occurrence fee.
When & how
Call 770-532-0493 before the machine goes out, and if it is accepted put it at the curb on the collection day inside the one cubic yard weekly and four cubic yard monthly limits.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its size when you call, remove any console or battery pack so the electronics travel on the white goods pickup instead, and keep the item clear of the household garbage and the recycling container.
Construction and demolition debris is on the city's list of material it will not handle, and the county landfill refuses large construction debris such as concrete and asphalt.
City cost & eligibility
Gainesville will not handle construction and demolition debris under any of its three routes, and the Hall County Landfill refuses large construction debris such as concrete and asphalt. The landfill does accept roofing shingles, but only at the landfill and never at the compactor sites or the recycling centre. Confirm a private roll-off or receiving site with the city Solid Waste Division at 770-532-0493 or the county division at 770-535-8284 before the work starts.
When & how
Ask the Solid Waste Division on 770-532-0493 or the county division on 770-535-8284 where the material can go, and arrange a private container if no county route applies, because neither the city curbside service nor the compactor sites accept it.
Get it ready
Keep blocks, bricks, concrete, asphalt, dirt, rocks, stumps and demolition material out of the curbside pile and out of the recycling container, and note that shingles are the one construction material the county landfill names, accepted there only.
The city refuses hazardous material, liquids, wet paint and tires, the county landfill refuses chemical and hazardous waste, and paint is the one material with a published recycling route.
City cost & eligibility
$5 per one gallon container of latex, oil or solvent based paint at the Hall County landfill paint recycling programme, with a 5 gallon bucket at 25 dollars, a quart at 1.25 dollars, a pint at 1 dollar and a spray can at 2 dollars. Paint delivered to the Hall County Landfill paint recycling programme, which accepts latex, oil and solvent based paints only and refuses mixed paints. Other household chemicals are outside this programme and stay a confirm instruction.
When & how
Take paint to the Hall County Landfill on 1700 Oakbrook Drive in Gainesville, or ask the city on 770-532-0493 and the county on 770-535-8284 about a household hazardous waste event for everything else, because no local collection event appears.
Get it ready
Never mix paints, keep hazardous material, liquids, flammables and wet paint out of the curbside pile and the garbage cart, and keep tires out of every city route. Tires are charged at the county landfill on a published chart, with nothing over 24.5 inches accepted.
The city keeps garbage, curbside and white goods apart
Gainesville collects garbage once a week at the curb and picks up recycling the same day, and both streams use City of Gainesville issued receptacles requested on 770-532-0493. Household garbage and curbside material are never mixed, because garbage goes to a solid waste landfill while curbside material goes to a construction and demolition landfill and the two travel on different trucks. White goods are a third stream: regulated appliances and electronic waste that are scheduled in advance on the same number and only collected when equipment and personnel are available.
Curbside is the occasional item too large for the household garbage bag, such as outdoor waste from cleaning around the house, boxes and similar bulky goods, and each customer is limited to one cubic yard a week, about half a refrigerator or six kitchen-sized garbage bags, with a maximum of four cubic yards a month without additional fees. Leaves, grass clippings, packing material and any other loose items that could blow out of the truck must be bagged. Clean-outs of an attic, basement, rental turnover, estate, eviction or storage building are the resident's or owner's responsibility.
The city states that it follows Georgia Environmental Protection Division rules and cannot handle biomedical waste, blocks, bricks, car parts, construction and demolition debris, dirt, explosives, flammables, hazardous materials, liquids, rocks, stumps, tires or wet paint. Setting a white good or electronic item at the curb before the pickup is arranged is itself a violation of city regulations. Paint is the one refused material with a published route, through the Hall County Landfill paint recycling programme.
The Hall County Landfill at 1700 Oakbrook Drive in Gainesville accepts only waste generated in Hall County, and visitors show a driver's licence and receive a printed ticket at check-in. A minimum tipping fee of 20 dollars covers the first 665 pounds of any load, with anything above that prorated at 60 dollars a ton, and payment is by cash, locally drawn cheque or the four major cards. Mattresses and box springs cost 10 dollars per item in addition to the weight of the load, a single refrigerant unit costs 10 dollars and multiple units 12 dollars each, tires are charged on a published chart with nothing over 24.5 inches accepted, and roofing shingles are accepted at the landfill only. The landfill refuses yard debris, bulk styrofoam, large construction debris such as concrete and asphalt, pressurized tanks, chemical waste, hazardous waste, liquid waste, mobile homes and boats, and it is closed on listed holidays.
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.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+

What counts as curbside in Gainesville and how much can go out?+
Curbside is the occasional items too large for the household garbage bag, such as outdoor waste from cleaning around the house and boxes, with loose material bagged. Each customer is limited to one cubic yard a week, about half a refrigerator or six kitchen garbage bags, and four cubic yards a month without additional fees. Household garbage and curbside cannot be mixed, and construction debris, tires, liquids, hazardous material and wet paint are refused.Official guidance
Will the city take a couch from the curb in Gainesville?+
A couch is the kind of occasional bulky item the city's curbside definition covers, so it goes out on the collection day within the limit of one cubic yard a week and four cubic yards a month without additional fees. The city does not name furniture in its white goods list, and clean-outs from an attic, basement, estate, eviction or storage building are the resident's responsibility, so call 770-532-0493 if the load is larger.Official guidance
How does a mattress leave a Gainesville address?+
Two ways. The Hall County Landfill on 1700 Oakbrook Drive charges ten dollars per mattress or box spring in addition to the weight of the load, on top of a minimum tipping fee of 20 dollars for the first 665 pounds and 60 dollars a ton above that. Alternatively the city curbside route takes it inside the limits of one cubic yard a week and four cubic yards a month without additional fees, because the city does not name mattresses in its white goods list.Official guidance
How do Gainesville appliances leave?+
Through a scheduled white goods pickup. The city lists air conditioners, clothes dryers, dishwashers, microwaves, refrigerators, stoves, trash compactors, washing machines and water heaters as white goods, requires the pickup to be booked in advance on 770-532-0493, and adds a per-occurrence fee to the next water bill based on what is collected. Setting such items curbside before the pickup is arranged violates city regulations.Official guidance
Where do Gainesville televisions and computers go?+
On the city's scheduled white goods pickup. The white goods list names electronic waste such as computers, monitors, televisions and stereo equipment alongside the appliances, and the pickup has to be arranged in advance on 770-532-0493 because it is regulated waste handled separately from the normal stream. The per-occurrence fee is added to the next water bill and is based on what is collected, and setting the items out before the pickup is arranged breaks city regulations.Official guidance
Who handles trash collection in Gainesville?+
The city's own Solid Waste Division, which collects garbage once a week at the curb and recycling on the same day, both in City of Gainesville issued receptacles requested on 770-532-0493. The division is at 263 Alta Vista Road Suite B and handles billing questions through the water bill. Curbside bulky material and scheduled white goods pickups run through the same number.Official guidance
How much curbside material can go out each week?+
One cubic yard a week, about half a refrigerator or six kitchen-sized garbage bags, with a maximum of four cubic yards a month without additional fees. Leaves, grass clippings, packing material and any other loose items must be bagged or they will not be picked up, curbside material cannot be mixed with household garbage, and clean-outs of an attic, basement, rental turnover, estate, eviction or storage building are the resident's responsibility.Official guidance
What are white goods and how are they collected?+
White goods are appliances and electronic waste: air conditioners, clothes dryers, dishwashers, computers, monitors, televisions, stereo equipment, microwaves, refrigerators, stoves, trash compactors, washing machines and water heaters. They have to be scheduled in advance on 770-532-0493, an additional per-occurrence fee appears on the next water bill based on what is picked up, and the pickup runs only when equipment and personnel are available. Putting the items out before the arrangement is made violates city regulations.Official guidance
What does the Hall County Landfill charge?+
A minimum tipping fee of 20 dollars covers the first 665 pounds of a load, with anything above that prorated at 60 dollars a ton, and payment is by cash, locally drawn cheque or card. Mattresses and box springs cost 10 dollars per item in addition to the weight of the load, a single refrigerant unit costs 10 dollars and several cost 12 dollars each, tires are charged on a published chart with nothing over 24.5 inches accepted, and paint recycling charges per container for latex, oil and solvent based paints only.Official guidance
What will neither the city nor the county take?+
The city refuses biomedical waste, blocks, bricks, car parts, construction and demolition debris, dirt, explosives, flammables, hazardous materials, liquids, rocks, stumps, tires and wet paint, and the county landfill refuses yard debris, bulk styrofoam, large construction debris such as concrete and asphalt, pressurized tanks, chemical and hazardous waste, liquid waste, mobile homes and boats. Roofing shingles are the exception on the county side, accepted at the landfill only. Confirm a receiving site on 770-532-0493 before starting work.Official guidance
