As promised, DeKalb Co. Sanitation Department's new roll carts are being dropped off around the neighborhood. This (literal) roll-out is part of the County's move to one-week collection for garbage, recyclables and yard waste.Attached to each cart is a bag with the following documents:
1) Frequently asked questions
(content similar to what is available on here)
2) 2015-2016 Residential Holiday Collection Schedule (pdf file)

* Note that the brochure says "DO NOT place loose trash in the cart." This relates to the issue of small items (even if bagged) sticking to the cart and failing to be emptied out except manually. A major source of annoyance for homeowners everywhere is that of passer-bys placing dog poop bags in trashcans that are curbside pre or post-collection. Please be considerate and discard your pet poop appropriately in a public garbage can or pet waste station, or bring it home to bag with the rest of your trash.
