The local disposal guide

Will the city
take it?

South Fulton runs weekly garbage collection and a separate monthly bulky waste collection that is assigned by city council district, and the city funds both through one annual residential solid waste fee billed by the Fulton County Tax Commissioner rather than a per item price. A household may put out up to two items not exceeding 3 cubic yards in its district week, scheduled by the Wednesday before the Monday service, with construction materials, tires, yard debris, cardboard, propane tanks, batteries and other material refused at the curb. The Merk Miles Citizens Convenience Center at 3225 Merk Road takes the rest: garbage, construction debris and yard waste by weight, appliances and cooling units with the freon lines cut and removed, computers and other small electronics at no charge, and separate published charges for tires, big back televisions and monitors, and paint.

Weekly garbage carts and the annual service fee

Accepted with preparation

A South Fulton household in an existing home already has weekly garbage collection and a monthly bulky waste collection, and the carts belong to the city and stay with the house when a resident moves. A newly constructed home has to be enrolled before service begins, and requests run through the TracEZ portal that both the city and its collection contractor review.

City cost & eligibility

Monthly bulky waste collection by district

Accepted with preparation

Bulk item collection runs once a month and is designated by city council district, with districts 1 and 2 starting in the first full week of the month, district 4 in the second week, districts 3 and 5 in the third week, and districts 6 and 7 in the fourth week. A household may place up to two items not exceeding 3 cubic yards, and the city states that the two pieces are part of the residential annual service fee rather than a separate charge.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the annual residential solid waste fee that South Fulton bills a household through the Fulton County Tax Commissioner, so the two monthly pieces add no separate collection charge for a household that has paid the fee and stays inside the two item limit. Back door collection is not available, and the contractor is not required to take material that was not prepared as the city requires.
When & how
Put items at the curb on Sunday evening near dusk before the scheduled week and expect service any time Monday through Friday. Call Community Relations and Service at 470-552-4311 or file the online request by the Wednesday before your Monday service, and put nothing out more than 48 hours before the pickup date.
Get it ready

The city states that food or liquids must be evacuated and captured by a certified technician where the law requires it, that refrigerator doors must be removed, that all refrigerants must be removed from appliances with a verification tag attached, and that the contractor must tell the city and the resident why it refused an item that was not prepared.

Yard debris

Not on the regular city route

Yard debris is on the bulky program's refused list, and the convenience center flyer prices yard waste alongside garbage and construction debris rather than listing it among the no charge items.

City cost & eligibility
From $10 for resident rate at the Merk Miles Citizens Convenience Center for garbage, construction debris and yard waste of less than 150 pounds, with $60 for 151 to 500 pounds and $120 per ton after 500 pounds.

Mattresses

Special rules apply

Neither the accepted list nor the refused list for the monthly bulky collection names a mattress, and no readable city page publishes a mattress rule or a per item mattress rate.

City cost & eligibility
Confirm whether a mattress counts as one of the two monthly bulky items with Community Relations and Service at 470-552-4311 or through a TracEZ request.

Exercise and play equipment

Special rules apply

Play equipment is on the bulky program's accepted list while basketball hoops, trampolines and swing sets are refused, and an exercise machine such as a treadmill is not named either way.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no item list entry for an exercise machine, so confirm with Community Relations and Service at 470-552-4311 or through a TracEZ request whether the machine may go out and whether it counts as one of the two monthly bulky items. The two items are funded by the annual residential solid waste fee and no separate published rate exists for a machine.
When & how
File the request by the Wednesday before the Monday service and put the machine out for the district week if the Solid Waste team confirms it, with nothing at the curb more than 48 hours before the pickup date.
Get it ready

Bulk waste accepted and refused items, district weeks and preparation

Hazardous waste, chemicals, tanks and paint

Not on the regular city route

The convenience center flyer refuses hazardous waste and chemicals, gas cans, tanks and dead animals, and the curbside bulky program separately refuses tires, batteries, propane tanks and cardboard of any size.

City cost & eligibility
Neither the curbside bulky program nor the Merk Miles Citizens Convenience Center publishes acceptance for hazardous waste, chemicals, gas cans, tanks or dead animals, so no local rate exists and that material has to find a household hazardous waste event or another program outside the city's published service. Paint is the one item in this family the flyer prices, per gallon at the convenience center.
When & how
Check the city's alerts and the convenience center page before hauling anything in this category, because the center posted temporary restrictions on August 21, 2026 and posted that it was resuming regular service on August 24, 2026.
Get it ready
Keep chemicals, paint thinners, gas cans, tanks and dead animals out of both the curbside load and a self haul load. If the material is paint, take it to the convenience center, where the flyer prices it per gallon rather than by weight.

How do I get rid of a mattress in South Fulton?

Ask the Solid Waste team first. The monthly bulky collection lists furniture, sofas and chairs but does not name mattresses on either the accepted or the refused list, and the city publishes no per item mattress rate, so call Community Relations and Service at 470-552-4311 or file a TracEZ request before the mattress goes to the curb.Official guidance

What does South Fulton charge for a bulky waste pickup?

The two items allowed each month are part of the annual residential solid waste fee rather than a separate collection charge, and the city publishes no per item curbside rate. Self hauling is priced by weight at the Merk Miles Citizens Convenience Center, where a resident pays more as the load gets heavier, and the flyer prices tires, big back televisions and monitors and paint separately. If a figure you need is not shown in the charge details on this page, confirm it with Community Relations and Service at 470-552-4311.Official guidance
