Sec. 70-40Private collectors—License required
Needs a look
Haulers and landowners looking up the permit rules will be sent to the wrong rule chapter. See the fix
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 shall contract for the collection, transportation, or disposal of solid waste who does not possess a current license for such business operation in the city. Applications for licenses shall be written and shall be considered after evidence has been presented to show that the applicant has received a current permit, appropriate to the type of business concerned, as required under Solid Waste Regulations of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources—Rules and Regulations for Solid Waste Management, Chapter 391-1-1.
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.
