City collection A collection of larger items such as old furniture goes on the street by 7 am and is scheduled with the office. The pickup is part of the subscribed cart service rather than a published per item fee, and the office schedules it after the item is on the curb. The Walker Mountain Landfill also accepts household furniture and charges by weight at the gate.
City collection The city schedules large items at the curb, the recycling center refuses mattresses, and the county sends them to the Walker Mountain Landfill. No per item curbside rate is published, because a large item pickup is part of the subscribed cart service that the office schedules, and the Walker Mountain Landfill charges by weight at its gate tiers. Confirm the route and the cost with the office or the landfill before anything goes out.
City collection Small appliances go in the garbage cart, the recycling center takes appliances and scrap metal around the clock, and refrigerant appliances are refused at the curb and at the landfill. The Rome-Floyd Recycling Center takes appliances and scrap metal in its drop-off area, and no fee is published for those materials, so confirm whether a charge applies with the center at 706-291-5266 before loading. The county states it does not pay for metals.
City collection Garbage, recycling, yard waste and junk items are collected on one day, and larger items are scheduled after they go on the curb. $11 per month for the city-issued 65 gallon garbage cart, which includes curbside garbage, recycling and scheduled large item collection.

Will the city take it?
Rome collects household garbage, recycling, the yard waste cart and junk items at the curb on a four day schedule, all on the same day between 7 am and 5 pm, and larger items such as old furniture go on the street by 7 am and then get scheduled with the office. Garbage has to fit inside the city-issued 65 gallon cart, construction and demolition material and anything that uses refrigerant gas are refused, and the Rome-Floyd Recycling Center takes appliances, scrap metal, shredded paper, books and the accepted recyclables, but it never takes mattresses, furniture, tires, glass or compost. Televisions, computers and household hazardous waste such as paint, chemicals, fluorescent bulbs and automotive fluids are not curbside or landfill items: the county collects them at quarterly appointment-only events at 412 Lavender Drive, and construction debris goes to the Walker Mountain Landfill at its published gate rates.
