New firm to pickup Winder garbage

Some features will be new, according to Kenyatta Mitchell, regional public sector representative for the new provider, Waste Management.

Most customers already should have received two new 96-gallon, lidded carts on wheels – a green one for regular household garbage and one for recyclables that has a yellow lid.

Multiple trucks will stop by each home on the same scheduled day of the week and will pick up recyclables, garbage, yard waste and up to one bulk item.

The yard waste – brush or branches – must be cut into four-foot lengths and bound with string or twine in bundles weighing no more than 50 pounds. The single bulk item can be a chair, a couch or other furniture.
