Sec. 70-38Scavenging
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).
No person other than the owner thereof, an agent or employee of the city, or any employee of a person holding a contract with the city for collection of solid waste shall interfere with any container placed for the purpose of storing solid waste pending collection, or remove or take any of the contents thereof, or remove any such container from the location where same shall have been placed by the owner thereof.
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.
