Yard Trimming Collections In Atlanta Suspended Due To Coronavirus

ATLANTA, GA—Atlanta residents who needed their unwanted yard debris picked up and hauled off will have to wait a little longer.

According to Atlanta’s Office of Solid Waste Services, crews have stopped collecting yard trimming at this time due to reduced staffing caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Yard trimmings include grass, leaves, and tree and brush trimmings.

Other services may be delayed but will be collected, city officials said.

According to the department, crews will resume yard trimming collections once the department is able to sustain operations.

“We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we all, as a community work through the national health crisis we are currently facing,” solid waste officials said.
