City: Expect Delays In Yard Waste Removal

ROSWELL, GA -- The recent inclement weather that moved into Roswell last week has led to a large amount of yard waste being placed curbside throughout the city. This, unsurprisingly, is causing delays in pickup from Advanced Disposal, Roswell's contracted vendor.

While they are adding more crews to their ranks, the city is advising residents to expect delays over the next few weeks. Roswell is asking customers to place yard waste at the curb and leave it there until it can be picked up.

You can check out the size and weight stipulations below for additional guidance:

• Items to be collected include weeds, grass and hedge trimmings, leaves, brush and tree limbs.
• Items must be placed in paper composting sacks or a 50-gallon metal or plastic container marked as yard waste. Lids must be left off for identification purposes by the driver.
• Branches and tree limbs shall not exceed 4 feet in length, 6 inches in diameter, nor weigh more than 75 pounds. They must be stacked neatly at the curb for pickup.
• Yard waste collection will be limited to 12 bags/containers and/or loose materials; combined volume not to exceed two cubic yards.
