City staff are working with Republic Services to address waste collection delays. Customers with regular Tuesday service will be picked up on Thursday. Find updates here.

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.

Do not put recyclables, compost, or hazardous waste in your black garbage cart. If your recycling and compost carts are contaminated with garbage, Republic Services will not pick them up.

  • New Year's Day
