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).
Vehicles to be used on streets and roadways for solid waste collection, transportation, or disposal shall be kept clean and shall be certified in regard to highway safety by the Motor Vehicle Division of the Georgia Department of Public Safety. Such vehicle bodies shall be in good condition and repair, covered and constructed in such manner that the contents thereof cannot be spilled, leaked, or blown from the vehicle. The outside of the body shall be painted and identified by the name, telephone number, and permit of the person owning the collection business in letters and numbers not less than three inches high and easily legible.
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.
