Commercial Collection Service
Prices vary on containers. Please call Customer Service @ (404) 294-2900 for more information.
Commercial Collection Service
The county provides commercial (front end loading, compactor or open top roll-off) service to customers that generate large quantities of solid waste in the course of their commercial, institutional, governmental or educational activities. Customers include commercial and industrial businesses, multi-family residential complexes, universities, and medical centers.
Commercial Front Loader Service
Front end loading customers are provided one or more containers of various sizes (2-8 cubic yards) and service frequency (1 to 6 days per week), depending on the needs of the customer. A high compaction vehicle designed with mechanical lifting arms and adjustable forks lifts and dumps the contents of the container into the body of the vehicle. The vehicle operator uses controls inside the cab to lift, empty and return the container to the ground.
Open Top and Compactor Service
The county provides 10 to 40 cubic yard self contained or break-away compacting containers to customers that generate large volumes of compressible waste but lack adequate space for multiple front load containers. Compactor containers are stationary and normally have a garbage compaction ratio of 3:1 or 4:1 compared to front loading containers. Compactors are service upon customer request but less frequently than front end loading containers. The compactor is lifted onto the bed of a tilt frame (roll-off) vehicle and taken to the landfill, emptied and returned to the customer.
The county provides open top container service to customers that generate bulky, but not extraordinarily weighty materials. These containers vary in size from 10 to 40 cubic yards. Open top containers are hoisted onto the bed of a roll off truck, taken to the disposal site, emptied and returned to customer, if needed for additional service. Service frequency is dependant upon the needs of the customer.
Cardboard Collection Service
The county provides corrugated cardboard recycling service to commercial entities upon request, for a fee. Customers are provided a 6 cubic yard container fitted for disposing of cardboard only.
