Regional Recycling Resource Hub: Glass, Cardboard, Small Electronics & Yard Trimmings — Peachtree City, GA
This regional operating guide helps Peachtree City residents, apartment communities, and property managers identify
City-listed recycling and disposal resources for materials that may be excluded from curbside recycling or restricted by a property’s commercial waste agreement—especially
glass bottles and jars, corrugated cardboard, small electronics,
yard trimmings, and bulky materials.
Peachtree City operates two resident facilities:
the McIntosh Trail Recycling Facility and the
Rockaway Mulching Facility.
Both are limited to eligible Peachtree City residents disposing of their own personal residential material.
[1]
[2]
[4]
Apartment and Commercial-Load Notice: City recycling and mulching facilities should not automatically be used for apartment maintenance, landscaping-contractor, renovation, eviction, management-company, commercial, or aggregated resident loads. Peachtree City directs commercial generators and non-City residents to a County facility or another approved location.
McIntosh Trail Recycling Facility: Glass, Cardboard, Paper, Books & Aluminum Cans
Glass-Recycling Option:
Peachtree City lists clear and colored glass bottles and jars as accepted materials at McIntosh Trail.
Glass was discontinued from the approved residential curbside recycling stream in 2016, so eligible City residents who want bottles and jars recycled may use the separate drop-off facility.
[1]
[3]
Cardboard Preparation:
Only corrugated cardboard is accepted, and residents must flatten and break down all boxes before arrival.
[2]
Resident Eligibility:
The facility is limited to Peachtree City residents.
A valid photo ID is required and is checked upon arrival.

Do not direct residents to this facility with televisions, CRT displays, microwaves, refrigerators, lamps, automotive materials, paint, furniture, or other excluded items.
[1]

Yard Trimmings: Current City Separation Requirement
Peachtree City Ordinance No. 1227 requires
City residents and businesses to separate yard trimmings from other waste
and prohibits placing yard trimmings in the waste stream sent to municipal solid-waste landfills.
[4]
Apartment Property Manager Action:
Maintain a separate process for landscaping waste, storm debris, oversized limbs, treated lumber, contractor material, and other excluded material.
Do not place qualifying yard trimmings in ordinary apartment dumpsters or compactors.
Approved residential curbside sanitation companies must offer residential yard-trimming collection, but that service may carry an additional charge.
Material generated by commercial or professional landscapers and excessive storm debris is excluded from the ordinary residential yard-waste service described by the City.
[3]
Apartment landscaping-company loads should be handled under the landscaping contract, commercial waste agreement, County facility rules, or another approved disposal arrangement.
Apartment and Commercial Waste Providers: Authorization and Reporting
Ordinance No. 1227 requires private companies operating in Peachtree City and providing solid-waste collection or disposal service to obtain the applicable
Georgia EPD solid-waste handling permit.
Collection vehicles and containers must comply with applicable State requirements and be designed to prevent leakage and escaping litter.
[4]
Providers must also submit quarterly waste and recovered-material tonnage information to the City Public Works Director.
The reporting responsibility belongs to the provider—not the apartment resident.
[4]
Property Manager Action:
Verify the property’s primary waste provider, applicable permit or City authorization, container ownership, collection frequency, recycling availability, disposal destination, missed-service process, emergency collection contacts, bulk procedure, yard-waste arrangement, and excluded-material rules.
A doorstep or valet-trash service supplements the property’s waste program but does not replace the company authorized to transport waste from the community to an approved facility.
Residential Curbside Franchise: Recycling Included in Base Service
Peachtree City’s current approved-company page applies to
residential curbside sanitation companies.
The published residential base rate is required to include recycling, and the first refuse cart and recycling container are supplied under the franchise framework.
[3]
[4]
Residential curbside customers are not required to participate in recycling, even though the service is included in the residential base rate.
[3]
Apartment Recycling Status:
Do not assume this residential curbside franchise automatically governs an apartment community using shared dumpsters, compactors, commercial containers, or a separately negotiated collection agreement.
Apartment management should confirm whether recycling is included, optional, separately priced, or unavailable under the property’s actual contract.
- Residential Curbside: Recycling must be included in the approved residential curbside base service. Participation by the resident remains voluntary.
- Apartment Commercial Service: Confirm recycling availability, pricing, accepted materials, container type, collection frequency, contamination charges, and rejected-load procedures directly with the property’s provider.
- Curbside Glass: Glass containers are not included in the currently published residential curbside recyclables list. Eligible residents may use the separate McIntosh Trail glass drop-off program.
- Bulk Waste: Residential curbside companies may offer bulk pickup for an additional charge. Apartment communities should use their property-specific bulk-item request and staging procedure.
Fayette County Transfer Station: General Disposal and Listed Electronics
Fayette County operates a transfer station through AMWASTE at
211 First Manassas Mile Road, Fayetteville, GA 30214.
The County currently lists municipal solid waste, green waste, tires, mattresses, electronics, and resident metal recycling.
[5]
Televisions and CRT Monitors:
Fayette County lists a general electronics charge but does not identify every accepted electronic category on its current page.
Call before transporting televisions, CRT monitors, oversized displays, damaged electronics, or battery-containing devices.
Paint:
Fayette County’s current Transfer Station page does not list paint as an accepted special item.
Do not transport paint there without direct confirmation.
[5]
- Facility: Fayette County Transfer Station, operated by AMWASTE [5]
- Address: 211 First Manassas Mile Road, Fayetteville, GA 30214 [5]
- Hours: Monday–Saturday: 7:00 AM–4:00 PM. Holiday hours may apply. [5]
- Telephone: 770-567-1733 [5]
- Qualifying Residential Load: $15 per vehicle for municipal solid waste up to two cubic yards. [5]
- Commercial or Larger Load: The current municipal-solid-waste scale rate is $48 per ton plus fees, with a one-ton minimum. Commercial customers and loads exceeding two cubic yards use the scale-rate framework. [5]
- Listed Electronics Fee: $15 per item. Call to confirm the specific device before driving. [5]
- Other Published Fees: Tires are currently listed at $20 each, with tires on rims not accepted. Mattresses are currently listed at $20 each. Rates are subject to change. [5]
- Property-Sponsored Loads: Apartment maintenance, renovation, contractor, eviction, landscaping, or company-vehicle loads should be approved and priced before arrival. Do not assume that the residential flat rate applies.
Paint and Household Chemicals: Household and Property-Generated Waste Differ
Georgia EPD explains that an individual householder may manage certain household-generated liquids by properly solidifying them before placing the resulting solid material in household garbage.
Liquid waste may not be placed in ordinary garbage.
[6]
The EPD household guidance describes working outdoors with appropriate protective equipment, keeping materials separated, and using absorbent material such as cat litter or oil-dry to solidify suitable household liquids.
[6]
Apartment and Business Waste:
Paint or chemical waste generated or consolidated by apartment management, maintenance personnel, renovation contractors, landscaping contractors, or other business operations should be evaluated under the property’s commercial waste and hazardous-material procedures.
Georgia EPD notes that businesses may be required to track generation and disposal and use a qualified disposal service.
[6]
No Informal Collection Area:
Do not establish an unattended resident paint, chemical, fuel, battery, or pesticide collection area in a leasing office, maintenance shop, package room, breezeway, stairwell, trash room, dumpster enclosure, or fire-access area.
Furniture, Appliances and Move-Out Waste: Use the Property’s Approved Procedure
Peachtree City’s residential curbside companies may offer bulk-waste pickup for an additional charge.
The residential franchise describes bulk waste to include certain household appliances, furniture, scrap metal, oversized brush, and similar material.
[3]
Residential curbside bulk terms should not automatically be applied to an apartment community using a commercial dumpster or compactor agreement.
Apartment Action:
Do not place sofas, mattresses, appliances, televisions, tires, move-out waste, renovation material, or eviction debris at a curb, beside a dumpster, or outside an enclosure unless the property’s provider has approved the location, preparation method, charge, and collection date.
Peachtree City Apartment Property Manager Checklist
- Confirm that the property is inside Peachtree City limits rather than elsewhere in Fayette County.
- Verify the property’s primary waste provider, collection authorization, contract, container ownership, pickup frequency, disposal destination, and emergency contacts.
- Do not assume the residential curbside recycling franchise applies to a commercial apartment dumpster or compactor account.
- Maintain a separate procedure for qualifying yard trimmings and prohibit their placement in ordinary waste sent to municipal solid-waste landfills.
- Require landscaping contractors to remove or properly dispose of material generated by their work.
- Do not transport commercial, contractor, maintenance, eviction, renovation, or consolidated resident loads to City resident facilities without express approval.
- Flatten corrugated cardboard and provide property-specific glass instructions.
- Keep televisions, CRT monitors, appliances, automotive materials, paint, furniture, and other Rockaway exclusions out of the resident e-waste stream.
- Call the Fayette County Transfer Station before transporting televisions, monitors, damaged electronics, paint, or property-sponsored loads.
- Maintain written bulk-item staging, request, preparation, charge, and collection procedures.
- Do not establish unattended paint, chemical, battery, fuel, pesticide, or electronics accumulation areas.
- Retain provider contracts, authorization records, invoices, missed-pickup reports, resident notices, photographs, bulk-removal records, landscaping contracts, and corrective-action documentation.
Verify Before Driving: Facility hours, closures, identification requirements, accepted materials, size limits, rates, commercial-load procedures, and provider rules can change. Confirm current information with Peachtree City, Keep Peachtree City Beautiful, Fayette County, AMWASTE, Georgia EPD, and the property’s waste provider before transporting material or issuing resident instructions.

Peachtree City, Fayetteville & Fayette County Multifamily Recycling Guide
Fayette County apartment owners, regional managers, and community managers: solid-waste collection, recycling availability, yard-trimming rules, container arrangements, and enforcement authority depend on the property’s exact municipal jurisdiction and service agreement. National Doorstep’s valet trash and recycling programs can support resident education, collection oversight, contamination reduction, and cleaner shared waste areas without replacing the property’s primary authorized waste provider.
The incorporated municipalities of Fayetteville, Peachtree City, Tyrone, Brooks, and Woolsey maintain different sanitation structures. Inman and Starr’s Mill are unincorporated community or historic-area names rather than separate municipal sanitation jurisdictions. A Fayetteville, Peachtree City, Brooks, Tyrone, or Woolsey mailing address should not be used as the sole basis for determining the controlling ordinance or provider.
Jurisdiction notice: Confirm the tax parcel, city limits, zoning authority, waste account, approved site plan, provider, fire authority, stormwater jurisdiction, and historic-overlay status before applying City or County procedures. Utility service, postal addresses, school districts, and community names do not necessarily establish municipal jurisdiction.
- Multifamily Recycling Mandate: No universal Fayette County requirement obligating every apartment community to purchase or provide recycling was identified in the reviewed current materials.
- Peachtree City Residential Curbside: Approved residential curbside companies must include recycling in the residential base service. This should not automatically be applied to apartment communities using commercial dumpsters, compactors, or separately negotiated service.
- Fayetteville City Service: Fayetteville states that sanitation and recycling are mandatory for residences inside City limits, while also noting that some apartment communities handle their own service arrangements.
- Tyrone Residential Program: Tyrone’s published AMWaste residential program uses a one-bin collection model. Apartment and commercial eligibility should be confirmed separately.
- Peachtree City Yard Trimmings: Residents and businesses inside Peachtree City must separate qualifying yard trimmings from ordinary landfill-bound waste.
- Unincorporated Fayette County: The County Transfer Station currently provides disposal services and resident metal-only recycling. Access to the facility does not create an apartment recycling mandate.
- Valet-Service Distinction: Doorstep collection supplements—but does not replace—the company or municipal service responsible for transporting waste from the property to an approved facility.
At a Glance: Peachtree City vs. Unincorporated Fayette County
Peachtree City
- Mandate Type: Recycling included in the approved residential curbside base service; resident participation remains voluntary.
- Multifamily Applicability: Property-specific. No stand-alone requirement obligating every commercial apartment community to subscribe to recycling was identified.
- Yard-Trimming Requirement: City residents and businesses must separate qualifying yard trimmings from other waste.
- Commercial Providers: Private solid-waste collection and disposal companies must maintain applicable authorization and comply with vehicle, container, leakage, litter-control, and reporting requirements.
- Resident Drop-Off Facilities: McIntosh Trail and Rockaway are limited to eligible Peachtree City residents disposing of personal residential material. Commercial and property-sponsored loads require another approved outlet unless the City authorizes them.
- Apartment Action: Confirm whether the property uses residential curbside carts, commercial dumpsters, compactors, property-sponsored recycling, resident drop-off guidance, or another approved arrangement.
Unincorporated Fayette County
- Collection Structure: Confirm the property’s private waste provider, applicable authorization, insurance, service contract, container ownership, and disposal destination.
- Recycling Status: No universal multifamily recycling subscription requirement was identified in the reviewed County materials.
- Transfer Station Recycling: The County’s current facility page limits the public recycling area to clean metal. Plastic, glass, paper, Styrofoam, and cardboard are not accepted as recycling at that location.
- Transfer Station Pricing: Residential and commercial or larger loads use different pricing structures. Apartment maintenance, renovation, eviction, landscaping, or company-vehicle loads should be approved and priced before arrival.
- Stormwater: Do not allow litter, leaking liquids, wash water, paint, chemicals, or other pollutants to enter County-owned storm drains, creeks, ditches, or drainage infrastructure.
- Property Action: Confirm zoning, approved enclosure location, road access, collection frequency, bulk procedures, recycling availability, and the applicable County or municipal enforcement office.
Do not apply household programs to apartment properties automatically: City-issued carts, curbside recycling, residential bulk pickup, yard-waste schedules, resident drop-off sites, household pricing, and special-collection programs may exclude commercial accounts, shared-container apartments, eviction debris, maintenance waste, contractor material, or aggregated resident loads.
Enforcement and Operational-Risk Snapshot
- Jurisdiction-specific enforcement: Fayetteville, Peachtree City, and Tyrone maintain their own municipal rules and enforcement structures. Fayette County provides County enforcement for unincorporated areas and performs certain services for Brooks and Woolsey.
- Waste accumulation: Overflow, loose waste, illegal dumping, leaking containers, blocked fire access, or polluted stormwater may implicate solid-waste, property-maintenance, fire, zoning, stormwater, litter, or nuisance provisions. Apply only the provision that actually governs the property and conduct.
- Illegal dumping: Intentional unlawful dumping can carry criminal and corrective consequences under Georgia law. The offense and penalty depend on the material, amount, purpose, location, and conduct.
- No automatic daily-fine claim: Do not publish a daily penalty, lien, jail term, or fixed maximum fine unless the exact current municipal or State provision applies to the identified violation.
- Documentation: Contracts, invoices, photographs, resident notices, missed-pickup reports, contamination records, landscaping agreements, and corrective-action logs are recommended management controls. They do not waive a violation or guarantee that enforcement will be avoided.

City sanitation and recycling Fayetteville publishes City garbage and recycling collection for properties inside City limits. The City’s service materials state that sanitation and recycling are mandatory for residences inside the City, while noting that some apartment communities handle their own arrangements. |
Confirm whether the apartment is included in the City account or uses a property-managed commercial agreement. Verify billing responsibility, container ownership, garbage and recycling days, bulk and yard-waste eligibility, missed-pickup contacts, move-out waste, and commercial-account terms. | A Fayetteville mailing address does not establish City jurisdiction. City water service also does not always establish City residency. Confirm the parcel before applying City household cart, bulk, yard-waste, or recycling procedures. |

| Tyrone |
AMWaste residential program Tyrone’s published residential program is provided by AMWaste and uses a one-bin model in which bagged trash and eligible recyclables are placed in one container. Published yard and bulk schedules are residential procedures. |
Confirm whether the apartment property is eligible for the Town residential contract or requires separate commercial service. Verify container size, recycling process, bulk procedure, yard waste, collection access, missed service, commercial pricing, and provider contacts. | Do not market the one-bin program as conventional source-separated onsite recycling without confirming how the apartment’s material is processed. Maintain separate procedures for hazardous materials and landscaping-contractor debris. |

| Brooks |
Town residential garbage service Brooks publishes Town garbage service through AMWaste for customers inside Town limits. The current Town page identifies cart rates and weekly collection but does not establish a universal apartment recycling requirement. |
Confirm whether a proposed or existing apartment property qualifies for Town service or needs a separate commercial agreement. Verify cart or dumpster eligibility, commercial collection, recycling availability, bulk material, yard trimmings, road access, and collection frequency. | Brooks is a rural municipality. Review long drives, narrow roads, turning radius, well and septic areas, drainage, landscaping debris, fire access, and whether enclosure changes require Town or County review. |

| Woolsey |
Confirm directly with Town Woolsey is an incorporated town, but a current official multifamily sanitation or recycling program page was not identified in the reviewed public materials. Do not assume that Fayette County or a neighboring city provides the property’s curbside service. |
Confirm service directly with the Town and proposed provider before development, acquisition, or contract renewal. Verify commercial collection, provider authorization, recycling availability, container location, bulk waste, yard trimmings, billing responsibility, and emergency service. | Woolsey’s rural road and low-density context may affect truck access, enclosure placement, septic areas, drainage, fire response, and collection frequency. Confirm whether County departments perform the relevant code, fire, or planning review. |
