Gwinnett Sanitation Holiday Schedule Announced

Gwinnett County’s sanitation department has announced its holiday schedule for garbage and recycling pickup during the holidays.

Normally, Christmas Day (Friday, December 25) would be a collection day. Pickup for the week of Dec. 21-25 will instead be on Saturday, December 26.

Also, New Year’s Day falls on a Friday. Collections normally made that day also will be made one day late, on Saturday, January 2.

If your garbage and recycling is usually picked up on another day, you likely get sanitation service from your city, not the county. Many early-week routes will not be impacted by Christmas and New Year’s.

Here’s a look at some of Gwinnett’s cities where there are potential schedule changes:

• Dacula -- Normal Thursday routes will be picked up on Tuesday instead of Thursday on Christmas week. Wednesday routes will run as usual.
• Loganville -- If your normal collection day falls on Christmas Day, it will be moved to the following day, Saturday December 26
• Snellville -- If your normal collection day falls on Christmas or New Year’s Day, it will be observed the following day.
