To expedite green waste clean-up from residential areas, Athens Services is now offering all account holders the additional option of scheduling a one-time green waste “bulky item pick-up” at no charge. Residents can make a direct request to service up to 6 total bags and/or bundles of green waste which include palm fronds, branches, and twigs. Plastic bags are allowed and will be separated from the green waste at sorting facilities. Bundles must be tied. Bags and bundles should be 35 pounds or less and should be placed on the parkway (the area between the curb and the sidewalk) or at the edge of your property where it is visible. Do NOT place bags/bundles on the street or hanging over the curb onto the street. All green waste must be bagged or bundled; loose piles will not be collected.
Please note that yard waste from regular gardening services should continue to be placed inside your yard waste/organics barrel for collection on your regular service day. This type of yard waste should not be piled on your property or parkway. Regular barrels that are overflowing will not be serviced.
To schedule a one-time free green waste “bulky item pick-up,” residents can call Athens Customer Service at (888) 336-6100.
City Hall Scoop 
Are we still expecting a drive-by pickup of all the debris that’s already been put on the Parkways in in the gutters by all of the yard Crews? It’s getting difficult to park on our street.
