City collection A couch leaves the curb in the once a month bulk waste collection that the city requires every registered hauler to include in its residential service level, and furniture is also named on the city's annual bulky items recycling day list. Which of the two applies depends on the hauler the household contracts with. No charge. Included in the residential service level the city requires of registered haulers, which pairs weekly cart collection and yard trimmings with a bulk waste collection once a month; the resident still pays that hauler's own monthly rate, and the city publishes rate examples without setting them.
City collection A mattress is named in no Johns Creek list: the city's bulky day list covers electronics, large appliances, furniture, clothing, books, grills, lawn furniture and bicycles, and the hauler service level describes a bulk collection without an item list. The item therefore has to be confirmed with the hauler before it goes out. No city list names a mattress or box spring, so call the hauler on your account to confirm that bedding can go out in the monthly bulk collection, and check whether the city's summer bulky day accepts it before registering.
City collection Large appliances are named on the city's bulky items recycling day list, and an appliance is the kind of item the monthly bulk collection in the required residential service level covers. Because the city does not set hauler fees, a refrigerant unit still has to be raised with the hauler. No charge. Included in the residential service level the city requires of registered haulers, which includes a bulk collection once a month; the city's bulky day is free to residents who pre-register, while the hauler's own rates and any extra fees are set by that hauler.
City collection Johns Creek builds bulk collection into the service level it requires of every registered hauler: weekly waste and recycling carts and yard trimmings, plus a bulk waste collection once a month. The city also runs an annual bulky items recycling day in the summer at City Hall for items a curbside hauler would not take. No charge. The monthly bulk collection is part of the residential service level the city requires, so it is covered by the monthly rate the resident pays that hauler; the city bulky day is open to residents who pre-register, and the city does not set either price.
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?
Johns Creek does not collect curbside waste itself. The city registers private haulers, regulates the minimum level of service they must offer, and publishes their rates, but it does not set or negotiate what a resident pays. The service level the city posts is weekly curbside collection of a waste cart, a recycling cart and yard trimmings, plus a bulk waste collection once a month, so a couch, an appliance or a television leaves with the hauler the household contracts with. The city also runs its own events for the things haulers will not take: a summer bulky items recycling day at City Hall that accepts electronics, large appliances, furniture and more, and a fall collection day for paint and household chemicals, with mail back programs for batteries, bulbs and small electronics in between.
A couch leaves the curb in the once a month bulk waste collection that the city requires every registered hauler to include in its residential service level, and furniture is also named on the city's annual bulky items recycling day list. Which of the two applies depends on the hauler the household contracts with.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the residential service level the city requires of registered haulers, which pairs weekly cart collection and yard trimmings with a bulk waste collection once a month; the resident still pays that hauler's own monthly rate, and the city publishes rate examples without setting them.
When & how
Ask the hauler on your account for its bulk collection day, which runs once a month, and put the piece out for that day; the city's summer bulky day is the alternative.
Get it ready
Keep the item at the curb where the hauler collects, keep it out of the recycling cart, and register for the city bulky day in advance if you plan to take it to City Hall instead.
A mattress is named in no Johns Creek list: the city's bulky day list covers electronics, large appliances, furniture, clothing, books, grills, lawn furniture and bicycles, and the hauler service level describes a bulk collection without an item list. The item therefore has to be confirmed with the hauler before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No city list names a mattress or box spring, so call the hauler on your account to confirm that bedding can go out in the monthly bulk collection, and check whether the city's summer bulky day accepts it before registering.
When & how
Confirm with the hauler first, then use the monthly bulk day if the item is accepted.
Get it ready
Keep the unit dry and out of the carts, and ask the hauler how it should be wrapped or positioned so the crew can lift it.
Large appliances are named on the city's bulky items recycling day list, and an appliance is the kind of item the monthly bulk collection in the required residential service level covers. Because the city does not set hauler fees, a refrigerant unit still has to be raised with the hauler.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the residential service level the city requires of registered haulers, which includes a bulk collection once a month; the city's bulky day is free to residents who pre-register, while the hauler's own rates and any extra fees are set by that hauler.
When & how
Ask the hauler for the monthly bulk collection day, or pre-register for the city's summer bulky items recycling day at City Hall, 11360 Lakefield Drive.
Get it ready
Empty the unit before it moves, keep it out of the carts, and tell the hauler when a refrigerator or freezer is involved so the refrigerant is handled correctly.
Electronics are named on the city's bulky items recycling day list, where they are donated, refurbished or recycled, and computers and accessories are accepted year round through the Dell Reconnect program at Goodwill. Small devices and batteries also have a mail back option.
City cost & eligibility
The city does not publish a fee for the bulky day, the mail back program charges for what it takes, and a device may also be part of the hauler's monthly bulk collection, so confirm which route applies and what it costs before a device leaves the house.
When & how
Pre-register for the summer bulky items recycling day through Keep North Fulton Beautiful, or take a computer or accessory to a participating Goodwill through Dell Reconnect at any time of year.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from the device, keep electronics out of the carts, and keep batteries separate because a lithium battery is a fire risk in a collection truck.
Construction debris is named nowhere in the city's waste pages, and with private haulers and no city collection the route is the hauler on the account or a roll off company, since the city's registered hauler list includes roll off service.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no construction debris route or rate, and it states that hauler fees are set by the haulers themselves, so confirm the container, the accepted material and the price with a registered hauler or roll off company before the work starts.
When & how
Call a registered hauler or roll off company from the city's list, and schedule the container before demolition or renovation begins.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the residential carts, keep hazardous material out of the load, and confirm with the receiving site whether inert material has to be separated.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's bulky day list or in the hauler service level, although lawn furniture and bicycles are, so the machine has to be confirmed with the hauler before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
No city list names exercise equipment, so ask your hauler whether the machine can go out in the monthly bulk collection, and confirm it with the bulky day organizers before registering.
When & how
Confirm the machine first, then use the monthly bulk collection or the annual bulky day.
Get it ready
Break the machine down where you can, remove any console or battery pack, and keep it out of the carts and off the street.
Johns Creek builds bulk collection into the service level it requires of every registered hauler: weekly waste and recycling carts and yard trimmings, plus a bulk waste collection once a month. The city also runs an annual bulky items recycling day in the summer at City Hall for items a curbside hauler would not take.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The monthly bulk collection is part of the residential service level the city requires, so it is covered by the monthly rate the resident pays that hauler; the city bulky day is open to residents who pre-register, and the city does not set either price.
When & how
Ask your hauler for its monthly bulk day, or pre-register for the summer bulky items recycling day through Keep North Fulton Beautiful and bring the items to City Hall at 11360 Lakefield Drive.
Get it ready
Keep bulk items out of the recycling cart, keep yard trimmings separate for the weekly collection, and check the bulky day list before loading a vehicle because the event is for items a curbside hauler would not take.
Hazardous material never goes out with the carts. Johns Creek hosts a fall collection event for paint and household chemicals, where mercury items, pool chemicals, herbicides, pesticides, acids, corrosives, gasoline, automotive fluids, oil and latex based paint, aerosols, fire extinguishers and propane tanks are accepted. Batteries, bulbs and syringes have mail back options in between events.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the accepted material and points to its calendar for the event date but no fee, and the mail back program charges for what it takes, so confirm the date and any cost before loading a vehicle.
When & how
Watch the city calendar for the fall collection event, and use the mail back program for bulbs, batteries and syringes between events.
Get it ready
Keep products in their original containers, seal them, never mix them, and keep paint, gasoline, pool chemicals and aerosols out of the carts, the bulk pile and the recycling cart.
The city sets the service level, the hauler sets the price
Johns Creek does not collect waste. It registers private haulers, regulates the minimum level and nature of service they provide, and publishes their rate information, but it does not manage, control, regulate or negotiate the fees they charge. The posted residential service level is weekly curbside collection of a 90 gallon waste cart, a 30 gallon recycling cart and yard trimmings, plus a bulk waste collection once a month.
The city lists registered haulers and the rates they submitted, with a warning that the rates are subject to change and that additional charges often apply, including fuel surcharges, administrative fees and cart delivery fees. The city recommends that residents ask a hauler to explain all of its fees, and compare rates, before entering a service contract.
The annual summer bulky items recycling day at City Hall at 11360 Lakefield Drive takes electronics, large appliances, furniture, clothing, books, grills, lawn furniture, bicycles and more, with pre-registration through Keep North Fulton Beautiful, and each fall the city hosts a collection event for paint and household chemicals. Christmas trees are chipped on the first Saturday in January at the Home Depot on State Bridge Road.
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 Johns Creek Public Works with registered private haulers
Use the monthly bulk collection from your hauler
A household with a couch, an appliance, a television or another bulky item that the carts cannot take.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The monthly bulk collection is part of the residential service level every registered hauler must offer, so it is covered by the monthly rate the resident pays that hauler; the city does not set or negotiate that rate.
Arrange it
Call the hauler on your account to confirm its bulk day each month, then put the material at the curb for that collection.
The city publishes no item list for the collection, so mattresses, exercise equipment and construction material have to be confirmed with the hauler, and extra fees may apply under the hauler's own schedule.
City of Johns Creek Public Works with registered private haulers
Register for the annual bulky items recycling day
A household with electronics, a large appliance, furniture, clothing, books, a grill, lawn furniture or a bicycle that a curbside hauler would not take.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The summer event at City Hall is open to residents who pre-register through Keep North Fulton Beautiful; the city publishes no fee for the event.
Arrange it
Pre-register through Keep North Fulton Beautiful, then bring the items to City Hall at 11360 Lakefield Drive on the event day.
The event runs once a year in the summer, so it is not a same week solution, and item acceptance follows the published list rather than the monthly hauling service.
City of Johns Creek Public Works with registered private haulers
Use the fall household chemical collection
A household with paint, pool chemicals, pesticides, acids, corrosives, gasoline, automotive fluids, aerosols, fire extinguishers or propane tanks.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the accepted material and points to its calendar for the date but no fee, so confirm the date and any charge before loading a vehicle.
Arrange it
Check the city calendar for the fall collection event, and keep the material in its original sealed containers until then.
The event runs once a year, and batteries, bulbs and syringes are handled through mail back programs rather than the event.
A household or contractor with renovation or construction debris that the residential service does not cover.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no construction route or rate and states that haulers set their own fees, so the container and the disposal have to be quoted by the company you hire, and the city's registered list includes roll off service.
Arrange it
Call a registered hauler or roll off company from the city's list and confirm the container size, the material and the delivery day.
There is no city collection of construction debris, so the container is the only route, and the price is set entirely by the company.
