ATLANTA — The way trash is collected in the city of Atlanta is changing due to the coronavirus pandemic. Atlanta Solid Waste Services says the city has seen an increase in trash and will now be implementing new changes, reports WGCL.
“For the added safety of our community and solid waste crews, please bag all garbage tightly before placing it in your cart. Until further notice, only items inside the cart will be collected," said city spokesperson.
Alos, bulk items will not be collected with regular garbage and recycling. That pickup must be scheduled by contacting ATL311 or calling 404-546-0311 Monday-Friday from 7 a.m.-7 p.m.
