James Burgess for Ashburn City Council

Sec. 70-46Service charges

Unchanged since the 2007 code

Needs a look

Residents can't find from the code what they pay for garbage or how to get rid of bulky items. 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).

(a) The City Council of the City of Ashburn shall adopt from time to time a fee for residential and commercial customers.

(b) The owner or occupant of each residential or commercial unit shall be billed for the fee collected under this article. The occupant shall be billed monthly by the city showing the amount due and payable. The bill for solid waste services, together with the bill for other utility services, shall constitute the utilities bill for the city.

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.
