Sec. 70-32Service established
Plain English: what this chapter covers
This chapter covers garbage: how trash must be bagged and stored, the pickup schedule, what the city will and won't haul, private haulers, and the garbage fee on your utility bill. An editor's note says the city contracts with the Solid Waste Management Authority of Crisp County (agreement dated 1996).
The city council, in order to protect the health and safety of the people in the city, authorizes and directs the city manager, by implementing and enforcing the provisions of these regulations, to control the storage, collection, and disposal of solid waste in the city. The city manager, with approval of the mayor and city council, may plan, procure equipment and personnel, and manage a publicly owned and operated solid waste collection and disposal service and/or establish criteria for the evaluation of private collection and disposal services, and may make recommendations to the mayor and council regarding contracts for solid waste collection and/or disposal site owners and/or operation of public or private solid waste collection and/or disposal systems, methods, and sites.
This is a plain-English guide, not legal advice. The official code is on Municode and at City Hall. Our copy is from April 30, 2026.
