Roswell Trash Pickup & Garbage Schedule 2026

The City of Roswell provides weekly curbside household garbage collection and works with a vendor to provide weekly yard-waste and curbside recycling collection. Roswell residents also have access to a city recycling center, a transfer station for non-construction materials, and large-item pickup by request. Additional fees may apply for certain extra services.

How to Find Your Roswell Trash Pickup Day

Roswell tells residents to use the city’s My Neighborhood Services tool to look up their curbside household garbage, recycling, and yard-waste schedules. This is the fastest way to verify your exact day without guessing by street or neighborhood.

1. Open the schedule-lookup tool. Start with the Roswell sanitation FAQ that links to My Neighborhood Services.
2. Enter your address. Use your exact service address to see garbage, recycling, and yard-waste days.
3. Save your weekly pattern. Roswell says curbside trash, recycling, and yard waste are weekly services, so once your address is confirmed, the schedule is easier to remember.
4. Check holiday pages before major holiday weeks. Roswell publishes separate holiday sanitation schedule pages for 2026.
5. Use the right contact. Waste Pro handles curbside recycling and yard-waste customer service, while the city sanitation pages cover garbage and facilities.

Roswell Trash Pickup Schedule: What Runs When

For most Roswell households receiving city sanitation service, regular curbside garbage is weekly. The city also states that weekly curbside recycling and weekly yard-waste collection are available, with Waste Pro listed as the customer-service contact for those two services.

Roswell also notes that residents can choose two 45-gallon containers instead of the standard single 96-gallon garbage container, but that option requires an added one-time fee. The city’s utility pages list the standard residential service and premium service options.

Roswell Garbage, Recycling, Yard Waste, and Large Item System

Roswell’s setup is easier to follow when you separate normal curbside garbage from recycling, yard waste, and large items that need special handling.

Roswell’s yard-waste FAQ says curbside yard-waste collection is limited to two cubic yards at a time, and yard waste includes weeds, grass, hedge trimmings, leaves, brush, and tree limbs. When residents need more than the normal amount, extra fees may apply.

Roswell Set-Out Rules

Roswell sanitation pages focus more on schedule tools and service categories than on a long list of curbside timing rules, but the city is very clear on large-item timing and weekly yard-waste limits.

• Use My Neighborhood Services to confirm your exact weekly pickup day.
• Keep curbside yard waste within two cubic yards at a time.
• Place large items at the end of your driveway by 8 a.m. on the scheduled day.
• Expect large-item collection anytime from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Contact Waste Pro for curbside recycling and yard-waste service questions.

Roswell Large Item Pickup

Roswell offers large-item pickup by request. The city’s pickup form notes that the collection window is between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., and residents should have the item at the end of the driveway by 8 a.m. Additional fees may apply depending on the item or service level.

Typical large items may include:

• Furniture
• Mattresses
• Oversized household items
• Other materials that do not fit normal weekly collection rules

1. Review the large-item page first. Start at Roswell Large Item Pickup.
2. Schedule the service. Roswell handles large items separately from your weekly trash route.
3. Place the item at the end of the driveway by 8 a.m.
4. Leave it accessible all day. The pickup window runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
5. Ask about charges in advance. Roswell notes that additional fees apply for this service.

Roswell 2026 Holiday Sanitation Schedule

Roswell publishes separate holiday sanitation schedule pages rather than one simple blanket delay rule. The city has 2026 schedule pages posted for major sanitation weeks, including Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. That means residents should check the exact holiday page before setting out trash, recycling, yard waste, or large items on those weeks.

The safest move in Roswell is always to check the holiday sanitation page for your week instead of relying on last year’s pattern.

What to Do If Roswell Missed Your Pickup

If your curbside recycling or yard waste was missed, Waste Pro is the listed customer-service contact on the Roswell garbage and sanitation page. For city-managed garbage services, recycling center use, or transfer-station questions, Roswell’s sanitation pages are the main source.

1. Check your exact day first. Confirm your schedule through My Neighborhood Services.
2. Review the holiday sanitation page. A holiday week is one of the most common reasons for route confusion.
3. Check your service category. Garbage, yard waste, large-item pickup, and transfer-station drop-off are different services.
4. Call Waste Pro for curbside recycling and yard waste. Use (470) 820-1900.
5. Use the city sanitation pages for facility and large-item rules.

Roswell Transfer Station and Recycling Center

Roswell residents also have two important backup options when curbside service is not enough: the Roswell Transfer Station and the Roswell Recycling Center.

Transfer station note: Roswell says the transfer station accepts non-construction materials from both residents and non-residents, and fees may apply. The page also posts a non-construction waste fee schedule effective July 1, 2025.
