Recycling, Solid Waste pickup in Macon-Bibb changes January 4
On November 17, the Macon-Bibb County Commission approved the expansion and standardization of recycling and yard waste pickup and realignment of garbage pickup services. Beginning January 4, 2016, the following services will be offered:
- Every home will have the opportunity to have curbside single stream recycling, something that many residents have been requesting for several years;
- Yard waste will be picked up from every home on a weekly basis, something that is not currently offered in all areas of the county but is desperately needed, especially during the spring and summer months; and
- All residential garbage collection will be managed by one organization, which improves efficiency, a promise of consolidation.
