Need a new trash bin? 

If you need a new trash or recycling bin, email billing clerk jturner@socialcirclega.gov and provide your name, address and a phone number. Let us know if you want to swap an old or damaged bin for a new one, have a trash bin removed, or have an extra trash bin delivered.

Extra bins cost $18.74 per bin per month. Senior citizens who have 12 months of on-time Utility payments can apply for a discount on trash rates which amounts to $16.90 per month per bin. Click here for an online senior citizen discount application.

What items are accepted for recycling?

The City accepts newspapers and inserts, cardboard boxes that have been broken down, pizza boxes, kraft paper, cereal boxes, paper towel and toilet paper cores, tissue boxes, office paper, file folders, calendars, magazines, shopping catalogs, envelopes, paper grocery bags, soda and beer cartons, telephone books, aluminum drink cans, tin food containers, and plastic bottles.
