The City of Atlanta has recently made a public announcement regarding the suspension of its Department of Public Works Office of Solid Waste Services operations. Severe weather conditions are to efficiently prevent any completion of these services as originally scheduled. According to a news release from the City of Atlanta's official website, collection is set to resume tomorrow, but this is contingent on weather conditions.
If tomorrow does not bring improved weather for collection services, the city plans to quickly adjust and move this day services to the following day, Sunday, September 29. As emphasized in the official statement, garbage and recycling removal will be given priority when the service operations resume.
Service interruptions due to weather are not isolated to end-of-week collection schedules. Earlier service suspensions were also announced for bulk waste pickup originally set for yesterday and today. Residents affected by these changes are to be notified of their rescheduled service day.
As a precaution, the City of Atlanta has advised residents against leaving any solid waste items on the curbside before their rescheduled collection day arrives. The city ensures to keep its residents updated, providing additional assistance through the Atlanta Solid Waste Services mobile app, and the city's website, where updated collection schedules can be accessed. Further inquiries can also be directed to the Atlanta 3-1-1 number for those within city limits, or alternatively, 404-546-0311 for immediate assistance.
