Curbside waste collection
Republic Services provides curbside waste collection for landfill, recycling, and compost for every property in Piedmont. You get a cart for each type of waste.
Your waste is collected weekly, from the front curb on your property. Put your carts out before 7am on your collection day, and put them away after your waste has been picked up.
