Sanitation Department

Residential Garbage Collection

As part of the residential collection program, each customer will be provided a container called a polycart.  Each polycart is registered to a specific address via its unique serial number. The residential customer is responsible for depositing all household garbage in the polycart and rolling the polycart to the curbside on your collection day. The polycart should be placed at least five feet (5') from any obstructions, such as vehicles, trees, utility poles, and mailboxes. 

Additional polycarts are available to residential customers whose garbage exceeds the capacity of the provided container.  You can complete a request for an additional polycart here.

Use the residential sanitation schedule map to determine your collection day.

Commercial Garbage Collection

The Operations Division collects commercial garbage Monday through Thursday according to the service plan selected.  It is the commercial customer's responsibility to ensure that the dumpster is unlocked and accessible on the day of the scheduled collection.

Billing

Charges for residential and commercial garbage collection appear on the monthly statement from the Marietta Public Works Authority.
