Please report debris to DeKalb County Sanitation. All Yard Debris must be properly prepared for collection. Yard Debris includes: grass clippings, leaves, twigs, branches, limbs, tree parts, shrubbery, vines, garden plants, etc., and other naturally occurring vegetative matter. Grass clippings, leaves, twigs, shrubbery, vines, garden plants, and small items must be placed in approved 20-40 gallon receptacles. Approved receptacles include durable metal and plastic containers or durable biodegradable paper bags. Each container must have two durable handles. Each paper bag must be folded at the top to minimize rain deteriorating the paper bags. Yard waste in plastic bags will not be collected. All approved receptacles must be placed at the curb without blocking mailboxes, utilities, driveways, sidewalks, drainage systems, or roadways before 8:00 a.m. on the scheduled day of yard debris collection for your service area. Branches and limbs must be trimmed of twigs, vines, and leaves and cut to a maximum of four (4) feet in length, and stacked neatly at the curb. The removed twigs, vines, and leaves must be placed in an approved receptacle as outlined above. Trees must be cut up as small as necessary, where each piece does not exceed a maximum of 50 pounds. Tree limbs that are cut by professional or hired contractors should not be left at the curb for collection by Sanitation. Call Sanitation at (404) 294-2900 if there are large piles of yard debris at the curbside not meeting the above restrictions, or if your yard debris has not been serviced on the scheduled day by 2:00 p.m. Thank you for using SeeClickFix!
