City collection Furniture is one of the items the city names as bulk, so a couch or a sofa goes out on a GFL Environmental bulk appointment rather than in the garbage cart, and it counts toward the three items removed each week. No charge. Included in the three item weekly bulk allowance at no additional charge for a household with the required franchise service, with the appointment made at least 24 hours ahead. A load over the allowance in one pickup becomes a special pickup with its own published fee, and the Henry County Recycle Center prices furniture per piece for a resident who drives it over instead.
City collection Mattresses are named as bulk items that GFL Environmental collects on a scheduled appointment, so a mattress goes out with the weekly bulk pickup and counts toward the three items allowed each week. The city publishes no extra mattress condition beyond the general bulk rules, while the Henry County Recycle Center prices a mattress by size for a resident who drives it over. No charge. Included in the three item weekly bulk allowance at no additional charge for a household with the required franchise service, with the appointment made at least 24 hours ahead. The Henry County Recycle Center publishes its own per piece price when a resident hauls the mattress there instead.
City collection Appliances are named as bulk items with one published condition: freon must be removed from the unit and the unit tagged with certification that it is empty before it is collected. The county recycle center takes appliances and scrap metal for recycling and does not take dishwashers. No charge. Included in the three item weekly bulk allowance at no additional charge when the freon has been removed and the unit is tagged with certification that it is empty, with the appointment made at least 24 hours ahead. The Henry County Recycle Center also takes appliances as scrap metal from a resident who hauls them over.
City collection GFL Environmental runs curbside collection under the city's franchise: garbage every week in the 95-gallon cart the hauler provides, and recycling every other week in the 65-gallon cart, with only those carts serviced. Every resident is required by law to have garbage service, and the city bills it through the property tax bill. The city bills garbage service through the property tax bill and publishes no per household rate on the sanitation pages, so confirm the amount that applies to the property, and ask about the senior discount program, with the city Utility Billing Office at 770-474-1232 or with GFL Environmental at 770-415-5386.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Stockbridge collects through a franchise program: GFL Environmental, the city's exclusive hauler, takes garbage every week in a 95-gallon cart and recycling every other week in a 65-gallon cart, and the same program covers weekly bulk removal by appointment. Every household is required to have the service and the city bills it through the property tax bill rather than a per pickup price. Furniture, mattresses and appliances are the items the city names in the bulk program, freon has to be removed from an appliance and the unit tagged with certification that it is empty, and no more than three items come off in one weekly service at no additional charge. Construction material is never acceptable, no matter who generated it. The Henry County Recycle Center is the local drop-off alternative, pricing furniture and mattresses per piece, appliances and scrap metal as recycling, and yard debris by vehicle, while refusing trash, dishwashers, tires, paints and stains and construction material.

City cost & eligibility
The city bills garbage service through the property tax bill and publishes no per household rate on the sanitation pages, so confirm the amount that applies to the property, and ask about the senior discount program, with the city Utility Billing Office at 770-474-1232 or with GFL Environmental at 770-415-5386.
When & how
Put the cart at the curb no later than 6:00am on the scheduled day of service. Recycling runs on the every other week B week schedule on the same day as garbage, and during a holiday week a service day that falls on a holiday is collected the following day.
Get it ready
Bag all garbage and put it inside the container, and keep the cart clear of mailboxes, telephone poles and fire hydrants so the automated arm can reach it. Only the hauler's 95-gallon garbage cart and 65-gallon recycling cart are serviced, and no personally owned container is collected. A resident who is unable to roll the carts to the curb applies to the city Utility Billing Office for backdoor collection, which requires a physician's signature and, for a permanent disability, a certification renewed each year.
Bulk removal is part of the franchise service and runs by appointment. A resident calls GFL Environmental to be added to the bulk schedule at least 24 hours before the service day, and up to three items are removed during each weekly service at no additional charge. The city defines a bulk item as anything too large to fit in the 95-gallon cart and names furniture, mattresses and appliances as examples.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Up to three items are removed during each weekly service at no additional charge for a household that has the required franchise garbage service and has called GFL Environmental to be added to the bulk schedule no less than 24 hours before the scheduled day. A load over the allowance in one pickup becomes a special pickup with its own published fee.
When & how
Call GFL Environmental at 770-415-5386 or 770-474-9273 to be added to the bulk collection schedule each week, at least 24 hours before the scheduled day of service, and put the items at the curb by 6:00am that day. Multiple weeks can be scheduled instead of putting everything out at once.
Get it ready
Have the freon removed from an appliance and tag the unit with certification that it is empty before it goes to the curb, keep construction material out of the load completely, and keep yard waste in its own pile or its own bags rather than in the bulk load. Describe the load accurately when the appointment is made so the right truck is sent.
More bulk than the weekly allowance allows, or a yard waste pile over the published limit, can still be collected in one visit through a special pickup that GFL Environmental schedules. The city publishes the fee for that service and states that amount restrictions apply to it.
City cost & eligibility
$150 for published fee for each special pickup scheduled with GFL Environmental when a load goes over the three item weekly allowance or the yard waste limit. A Stockbridge household with the required franchise garbage service whose load goes over the weekly allowance or the yard waste limit. The city states that amount restrictions apply to the special pickup, so confirm the load with the hauler when the appointment is made.
When & how
Call GFL Environmental at 770-415-5386 or 770-474-9273 to schedule the special pickup, and expect it on a service day with the rest of the route.
Get it ready
Separate the material so the load matches what was described when the pickup was scheduled, keep construction material out of it because the city never accepts construction material from any generator, and have freon removed from an appliance and tag the unit before it is collected.
Furniture is one of the items the city names as bulk, so a couch or a sofa goes out on a GFL Environmental bulk appointment rather than in the garbage cart, and it counts toward the three items removed each week.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the three item weekly bulk allowance at no additional charge for a household with the required franchise service, with the appointment made at least 24 hours ahead. A load over the allowance in one pickup becomes a special pickup with its own published fee, and the Henry County Recycle Center prices furniture per piece for a resident who drives it over instead.
When & how
Call GFL Environmental at least 24 hours before the service day to be added to the bulk schedule, and put the piece out by 6:00am on the collection day.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the garbage cart, because only the hauler's 95-gallon cart is serviced, and keep construction material and yard waste in separate loads. A resident who is unable to move the piece to the curb can ask the city Utility Billing Office about backdoor collection, which requires a physician's signature.
Mattresses are named as bulk items that GFL Environmental collects on a scheduled appointment, so a mattress goes out with the weekly bulk pickup and counts toward the three items allowed each week. The city publishes no extra mattress condition beyond the general bulk rules, while the Henry County Recycle Center prices a mattress by size for a resident who drives it over.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the three item weekly bulk allowance at no additional charge for a household with the required franchise service, with the appointment made at least 24 hours ahead. The Henry County Recycle Center publishes its own per piece price when a resident hauls the mattress there instead.
When & how
Call GFL Environmental at least 24 hours ahead to be added to the bulk schedule and put the mattress at the curb by 6:00am on the service day, or take it to the Henry County Recycle Center during its operating days.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the garbage cart, because only the hauler's cart is serviced and a mattress goes on a bulk appointment instead. Keep it out of a load with construction material, which the city refuses from every generator, and out of the yard waste pile.
Appliances are named as bulk items with one published condition: freon must be removed from the unit and the unit tagged with certification that it is empty before it is collected. The county recycle center takes appliances and scrap metal for recycling and does not take dishwashers.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the three item weekly bulk allowance at no additional charge when the freon has been removed and the unit is tagged with certification that it is empty, with the appointment made at least 24 hours ahead. The Henry County Recycle Center also takes appliances as scrap metal from a resident who hauls them over.
When & how
Call GFL Environmental at least 24 hours before the service day, have the refrigerant work done before the collection, and put the appliance out by 6:00am on the service day.
Get it ready
Have a certified technician remove the freon and attach the certification tag, empty the unit, and keep it out of the garbage cart. A lawn mower goes to the county center as scrap metal with the fuel removed, and a dishwasher is on the county center's refused list.
No city or county route for televisions, computers or other electronics is published. The city's recycling list covers household containers only and states that items of recyclable material that are not household type containers are not acceptable, and the county recycle center's accepted list does not include electronics, so a screen is a confirmation with the hauler.
City cost & eligibility
No electronics collection is published by the city and the Henry County Recycle Center lists no electronics among the items it accepts, so call GFL Environmental at 770-415-5386 or 770-474-9273, describe the screen and ask whether it can go out on a bulk appointment before setting it at the curb. No local rate is published for electronics.
When & how
Call GFL Environmental before the item goes out, and keep the screen out of both the garbage cart and the recycling cart in the meantime.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the recycling cart, because the recycling list covers cardboard, paper, plastic bottles and jars, aluminum and tin cans, and the city states that items of recyclable material that are not household type containers are not acceptable. A screen that is too large for the 95-gallon cart sits in the same category as the other bulk items, so describe it accurately when the appointment is discussed.
Construction material is refused by the collection program no matter who generated it. The city states that construction and landscaping contractors, and any other contractor that generates waste, have to provide their own removal, while landscape material generated by the homeowner is acceptable.
City cost & eligibility
The franchise program collects no construction material from any generator, and the Henry County Recycle Center refuses construction materials and debris along with pressure treated wood, plywood, fence posts and landscape timbers, so no municipal or county rate exists for this material and it goes to a private landfill or transfer station arranged by the contractor or the household.
When & how
Arrange removal before the material is generated, because it is not collected on the garbage route and cannot go out on a bulk appointment.
Get it ready
Keep construction material separate from the bulk items, the yard waste and the carts, keep contractor landscape debris with the contractor, and note that the county center refuses paints and stains along with construction material.
Yard waste has two routes in the same week. Leaves and grass clippings go out bagged in paper or plastic with no appointment, up to ten bags on the normal collection day, while twigs, limbs and branches are scheduled with GFL Environmental and go out as a neat pile inside the published length and volume limits.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Up to ten bags of leaves or grass clippings are removed weekly on the normal collection day with no appointment, and a scheduled pile of twigs, limbs and branches inside the published limits adds no separate charge for a household with the required franchise service. A pile over the limit in a single pickup becomes a special pickup with its own published fee.
When & how
Bagged yard waste goes out by 6:00am on the normal collection day with no call needed, and a pile of twigs, limbs and branches has to be scheduled with GFL Environmental at least 24 hours before the service day and put out by 6:00am as well.
Get it ready
Keep twigs, limbs and branches to no more than four feet in length in a neat pile, keep the whole pile inside the published cubic yard limit, and use paper or plastic garbage or yard waste bags for leaves and grass clippings. Contractor landscape debris is not accepted anywhere in the program, and the county center takes residential yard debris only from Henry County residents who show a driver's license.
Exercise equipment is not one of the examples the city lists, but the program defines a bulk item as any item too large to fit in the 95-gallon cart and gives furniture, mattresses and appliances as examples rather than as a closed list, so a treadmill or a weight machine goes out on a scheduled bulk appointment.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the three item weekly bulk allowance at no additional charge when the machine is placed on the bulk schedule with GFL Environmental at least 24 hours ahead. A load over the allowance in one pickup becomes a special pickup with its own published fee.
When & how
Call GFL Environmental at least 24 hours before the service day to be added to the bulk schedule, and put the machine at the curb by 6:00am that day.
Get it ready
Take the machine apart as far as it comes apart so it can be handled at the curb, keep it out of the 95-gallon cart, and describe the load accurately when the appointment is made so the right truck is sent.
No local program publishes a route for paint, stains, chemicals, tires or medical waste. The county recycle center refuses paints and stains, tires, styrofoam, plastic bags and medical wastes, and the city sanitation pages list no household hazardous waste collection of their own.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the city sanitation pages nor the Henry County Recycle Center publishes acceptance for paint, stains, chemicals, tires or medical waste, so no local rate or schedule exists for that material and it has to be held for a household hazardous waste event or handled by another program outside these two.
When & how
Check the city sanitation page and the county recycle center page before setting anything out, and remember that a holiday week moves a collection day to the following day and that the county center closes on its own published holidays.
Get it ready
Keep paint, stains, chemicals, tires and medical waste out of the garbage cart, out of the recycling cart, out of a bulk appointment and out of the yard waste pile.
Garbage goes in the hauler's 95-gallon cart and all of it has to be bagged inside the container, recycling goes in the 65-gallon cart on the every other week schedule, and both carts are at the curb no later than 6:00am on the scheduled day. Only the hauler's carts are serviced, keep them clear of mailboxes, poles and hydrants, and a service day that falls on a holiday moves to the following day.
Call GFL Environmental at 770-415-5386 or 770-474-9273 at least 24 hours before the scheduled day of service to be added to the bulk collection schedule, then put the items at the curb by 6:00am. Up to three items come off in one weekly service at no additional charge, a load over that in a single pickup becomes a special pickup with its own published fee, freon has to be removed from an appliance and the unit tagged with certification that it is empty, and construction material does not go out at all.
For a self haul to the Henry County Recycle Center
The center is strictly a drop-off site with no pickups and takes no trash, and it is open Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Separate the load before arrival, because furniture and mattresses are priced per piece and yard debris is priced by vehicle for Henry County residents who show a driver's license, while glass, tin cans, plastics number 1 and 2, aluminum, cardboard and paperboard, office paper, newspaper, batteries, motor oil, cooking oil, appliances and scrap metal are taken as recycling. Dishwashers, tires, paints, stains, styrofoam, plastic bags and construction material are refused.
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.

Where do old televisions and computers go in Stockbridge?+
