City collection Furniture is the first example in the city's bulk item list and goes to the curb with the regular collection at no charge unless the crew needs more than five minutes. No charge. Furniture is a bulk item with no appointment and no charge when the crew collects it within five minutes, and a longer collection is charged 50.00 for the first 15 minutes plus 25.00 for each additional 15 minutes.
City collection Mattresses and box springs are named in the city's bulk item list and go out with the regular collection. No charge. A mattress or box spring is a bulk item with no appointment and no charge when the crew collects it within five minutes, with a longer collection charged 50.00 for the first 15 minutes plus 25.00 for each additional 15 minutes.
City collection Appliances are named in the bulk item list and are expressly not recyclable in the recycling cart, so they go out with the refuse or to a drop off center. No charge. An appliance is a bulk item with no appointment and no charge when the crew collects it within five minutes, and the recycling guidelines list appliances among the materials that must not go in the recycling cart. A longer collection is charged 50.00 for the first 15 minutes plus 25.00 for each additional 15 minutes.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Savannah collects its own refuse once a week, recycles twice a month on the same day as the trash, and takes yard waste weekly in biodegradable brown bags the day after the refuse route. The published fee schedule for January 2026 sets the solid waste fee at 42.81 a month, an extra cart at 50.00 and a cart left out past the window at 25.00, and it prices the things that go wrong: trash overflow, contamination in the recycling cart and a pile that takes the crew more than five minutes all carry fees. Bulk items are the same weekly service rather than an appointment, so a couch, a mattress, an appliance or a bicycle goes to the curb with the cart before 7 a.m. on the trash day, with no charge unless the collection runs past five minutes, and up to four tires a week are picked up separately by a different truck. Residents can also take bulky items and up to four tires a calendar year to the Dean Forest Road Landfill or the Bacon Park Transfer Station with proof of residency.
Weekly refuse, twice monthly recycling and weekly yard waste
Accepted with preparation
The city collects refuse once a week, recycling twice a month on the same day as the refuse, and yard waste weekly in brown bags the day after the refuse route.
City cost & eligibility
From $42.81 for the monthly solid waste fee as of January 2026. The January 2026 schedule also sets an additional collection cart at 50.00, a cart return fee at 25.00, trash overflow at 50.00, a recycling cart contamination fee at 25.00 and an additional recycling cart at 50.00. Recycling service itself has no cost, and an extra trash or recycle cart carries a one time 50.00 fee with no extra monthly charges.
When & how
Refuse carts go to the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day and come back in by 7 p.m. that day. Recycling is collected twice monthly on the same day as the refuse, with carts out by 7 a.m. but no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before. Yard waste is collected weekly the day after the refuse route.
Get it ready
Put only household garbage in the city cart, bag leaves and grass cuttings in biodegradable brown bags beside it, and keep the yard load to 15 bags a week. Keep recycling carts clean of trash and non recyclables, because contamination carries the published contamination fee for each occurrence, and keep recyclables and trash inside the carts rather than beside them.
Bulk items are objects too large for the cart with the lid closed, and they go to the curb with the regular collection rather than on an appointment, with no charge unless the crew needs more than five minutes.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. There is no appointment and no charge for a bulk item the crew can collect within five minutes. A collection that takes longer is charged the special collection fee of 50.00 for the first 15 minutes and 25.00 for every additional 15 minutes, bulk items placed out off schedule also carry a fee, and a commercial activity collection is 100.00.
When & how
Items go neatly at the curb with the cart or the regular collection point before 7 a.m. on the scheduled trash day, and no appointment is needed.
Get it ready
Keep the pile clear of mailboxes, fences and utility poles, and never put it in the street, a right of way or a median, which the city treats as illegal dumping and asks residents to report to 311. The published examples are furniture, mattresses and box springs, appliances, toilets, bicycles, metal and other like materials.
Furniture is the first example in the city's bulk item list and goes to the curb with the regular collection at no charge unless the crew needs more than five minutes.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture is a bulk item with no appointment and no charge when the crew collects it within five minutes, and a longer collection is charged 50.00 for the first 15 minutes plus 25.00 for each additional 15 minutes.
When & how
Set the furniture at the curb with the cart before 7 a.m. on the trash day.
Get it ready
Keep the piece clear of mailboxes, fences and utility poles and out of the street, rights of way and medians, and keep it dry and manageable so the crew can clear it quickly. The recycling cart is not an option, because furniture is on the list of materials that cannot be recycled.
Mattresses and box springs are named in the city's bulk item list and go out with the regular collection.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A mattress or box spring is a bulk item with no appointment and no charge when the crew collects it within five minutes, with a longer collection charged 50.00 for the first 15 minutes plus 25.00 for each additional 15 minutes.
When & how
Set the set at the curb with the cart before 7 a.m. on the trash day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and keep it out of the recycling cart, because bedding is on the city's list of materials that cannot be recycled. Keep the pile clear of mailboxes, fences and utility poles.
Appliances are named in the bulk item list and are expressly not recyclable in the recycling cart, so they go out with the refuse or to a drop off center.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. An appliance is a bulk item with no appointment and no charge when the crew collects it within five minutes, and the recycling guidelines list appliances among the materials that must not go in the recycling cart. A longer collection is charged 50.00 for the first 15 minutes plus 25.00 for each additional 15 minutes.
When & how
Set the appliance at the curb with the cart before 7 a.m. on the trash day, or take it to a drop off center with proof of residency.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors so nothing can be trapped inside, keep it out of the recycling cart, and keep refrigerant units upright. Metal and appliances are also on the bulk list, and the drop off centers take excess household dry trash for a city resident with proof of residency.
Electronics cannot go in the recycling cart, and no city page retrieved for this guide names a bulk or drop off route for them, so the route has to be confirmed with the city.
City cost & eligibility
The recycling FAQ lists electronics among the materials that cannot be recycled, and neither the bulk item guidelines nor the drop off center rules name a television or computer, so call 311 or 912-651-6565 and ask which route the city wants used before setting a device out or driving it anywhere.
When & how
Call 311 first, then use whichever route the city names, and keep the device out of the recycling cart in the meantime.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before a computer or drive leaves the house, never put a device with a battery in a pile a truck might compact, and keep electronics out of the recycling cart, where they would also trigger the 25.00 contamination fee.
The city's bulk list ends with other like materials, so a large exercise machine goes out with the regular collection under that catch all.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. An exercise machine is bulky material under the city's other like materials wording, with no appointment and no charge when the crew collects it within five minutes, and a longer collection is charged 50.00 for the first 15 minutes plus 25.00 for each additional 15 minutes.
When & how
Set the machine at the curb with the cart before 7 a.m. on the trash day.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart and keep the loose weights with it so the crew can clear the pile quickly, and keep it clear of mailboxes, fences and utility poles.
Up to four tires go to the curb on the regular collection day, and up to four tires a calendar year can be taken to a city drop off center.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city publishes no tire fee for a resident. Up to four tires go out at the curb on the regular collection day, a different truck collects them and it may take up to a week, and the Dean Forest Road Landfill and Bacon Park Transfer Station each accept tires at four per calendar year from a city resident with proof of residency.
When & how
Put up to four tires at the curb on the regular collection day, or take them to a drop off center during its open hours.
Get it ready
Keep the count to four and keep tires out of the recycling cart and the yard waste pile, because the recycling cart takes no non recyclable material and the yard waste stream is only brown bagged vegetation.
Renovation debris is not named in the bulk list and the drop off centers take only excess household dry trash, so the route has to be confirmed with the city.
City cost & eligibility
The city's bulk list names furniture, mattresses, appliances, toilets, bicycles, metal and other like materials rather than construction material, and both drop off centers refuse commercial waste including waste from managing a rental property while accepting only excess household dry trash, so call 311 or 912-651-6565 to confirm how a project load is handled and what it costs. A commercial activity collection through the city carries a 100.00 fee.
When & how
Call the city before the load leaves the property, and do not count on the weekly route for a project pile.
Get it ready
Keep construction debris out of the recycling cart and out of the brown yard waste bags, and keep it separate from household dry trash so a receiving facility can price it. A commercial activity collection carries a 100.00 special collection fee if it goes through the city route.
Paint, chemicals, batteries and other hazardous products
Special rules apply
No city page retrieved for this guide names a household hazardous waste route, and paint cans cannot go in the recycling cart, so the route has to be confirmed with the city.
City cost & eligibility
The recycling FAQ lists paint cans among the materials that cannot be recycled and the bulk and drop off pages do not name a hazardous waste program, so call 311 or 912-651-6565 and ask where paint, chemicals, batteries and fuels should go before transporting anything.
When & how
Call the city first, keep the products in their original containers, and never put them in the refuse cart, the recycling cart or a bulk pile.
Get it ready
Keep products sealed, unmixed and upright, and keep them out of the recycling cart, where non recyclable material also triggers the 25.00 contamination fee. Nothing in the retrieved city pages promises a curbside chemical collection, so do not assume one.
Refuse carts go to the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day and come back in by 7 p.m. that day. Recycling is collected twice monthly on the same day, with carts out by 7 a.m. but no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before, and a 25.00 fine may be assessed each time a cart is left out past the allowed window. Yard waste in brown bags goes out the day after the refuse route with a 15 bag weekly limit.
A bulk pile goes out with the cart, not on an appointment
Bulk items go neatly at the curb with the cart or regular collection point before 7 a.m. on the trash day, no appointment is needed, and the pile stays clear of mailboxes, fences and utility poles. Nothing goes into the street, a right of way or a median, which the city treats as illegal dumping, and a pile that takes the crew more than five minutes is billed 50.00 for the first 15 minutes plus 25.00 for each additional 15 minutes.
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.
A city household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, a toilet, a bicycle, metal or another large household item.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Bulk items go out with the regular collection at no appointment and no charge when the crew clears the pile within five minutes. A collection taking longer is billed 50.00 for the first 15 minutes and 25.00 for each additional 15 minutes, and off schedule bulk items and trash overflow also carry fees.
Arrange it
Set the items neatly at the curb with the cart before 7 a.m. on the trash day, and call 311 to report anything left uncollected or dumped in the street.
Nothing hazardous, electronic or construction related belongs in the pile, and the five minute rule means a heavy or awkward pile draws a fee. Bulk items placed in the street, a right of way or a median are treated as illegal dumping.
A city resident with bulky items, household recyclables, yard trash, excess household dry trash, or up to four tires a calendar year.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the drop off center rules but not a gate fee for a resident load, so confirm what applies at 311. The monthly solid waste fee of 42.81 funds the curbside service rather than being a gate charge.
Arrange it
Use the Dean Forest Road Landfill at 1327 Dean Forest Road, which is closed Sundays and city holidays, or the Bacon Park Transfer Station at 6400 Skidaway Road south of Bona Bella Avenue, open 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday and closed Mondays, Tuesdays and city holidays. Bring proof of residency.
Both sites are for city residents and both refuse commercial waste including waste from managing a rental property, and Bacon Park takes no garbage at all. The bulk item page lists Bacon Park at 2609 Skidaway Road while the recycling and refuse disposal pages give 6400 Skidaway Road, so confirm the address on the call.
A city household that wants an extra recycling cart alongside the free twice monthly service.
Cost & conditions
$50 for the published charge for an additional recycling cart. Recycling service itself has no cost, an additional recycling cart is 50.00, and the recycling guidelines state that an extra trash or recycle cart is a one time 50.00 fee with no extra monthly charges. A cart left out past the allowed window, or contamination in the recycling cart, carries a 25.00 fee.
Arrange it
Call 311 or 912-651-1967 to request the additional cart after water service is established.
The cart takes only empty plastic drink bottles and jugs, office paper, newspapers, magazines, empty aluminum and steel cans and flattened cardboard, and a contaminated cart is a 25.00 fee. Excess recyclables go to the drop off containers at the Dean Forest Landfill or the Bacon Park Transfer Station.
