Trash Service Resumes Sept. 12 In Roswell

ROSWELL, GA -- The city of Roswell will resume normal operations at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12, as Tropical Storm Irma continues to push out of metro Atlanta and Georgia. The city's Recreation & Parks programs and activities will also pick up its normal schedules at noon Sept. 12.

Normal garbage and recycling collection will also resume Tuesday. However, Tuesday customers are asked to wait until the morning -- after the storm has passed -- to place their garbage and recycling at the curb to prevent trash from spilling onto the roadway or your neighbor's property.

Yard waste, including storm debris, will be picked up by our vendor as soon as possible. Residents are asked to put their yard waste/debris out at the curb starting as early as tomorrow.

A note for motorists: the Roswell Police Department notes on its Facebook page that Pine Grove Road will be closed from Lake Charles Drive to North Coleman Road until further notice due to weather related damage (SIGN UP: Get Patch's Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts.

As a reminder, if you experience a downed tree, here are a few ways to report it:

• If the tree has fallen into the right-of-way (roadway), but it is not blocking the road (cars can still get past), please report the issue using the city's See-Click-Fix system at www.roswellgov.com/SeeClickFix.
• If a tree has fallen into the roadway and is blocking the roadway, call Roswell's non-emergency line at 770-640-4100.
• If a tree has fallen and has created a hazardous situation that threatens personal or public safety (ex. It has taken down power lines or has fallen and injured or trapped someone), call 911.

Remember to please use 911 only in emergency situations. Using 911 for anything other than true emergencies "can potentially hamper our emergency response for someone else," the city added.
