Garbage Service

Garbage pick-up is a service that the City of Fort Oglethorpe contracts out with Republic Services.  The City provides each household with one cart that is scheduled to be picked up once per week.  Garbage must be set out BEFORE the garbage truck runs in order for garbage to be picked up.  Garbage cart must be placed in a position so that the arm on the truck can reach it.  Keep in mind that garbage cannot be picked up if a vehicle or some other obstruction is blocking the cart.

Attention Residents:
Please help us keep our city beautiful by placing your 95-gallon trash bin at the curb no earlier than 3:30 PM on the day prior to the day scheduled for collection. Please remove your trash bin from the curb no later than the next day following the scheduled collection day.

Persons who need an additional cart may lease one for $18.00 per every 3 months through Republic Services. If interested, contact Republic Services at 423-867-4650.

Persons wishing to participate in Recycling, may do so by contacting Republic Services at 423-867-4650.  A recyclable cart may be leased from Republic Services for $18.00 per every 3 months.  If you are interested, call 423-867-4650.
