Local Tips & Community Info
Peachtree Corners Waste Management Services
In the City of Peachtree Corners, residential sanitation and recycling are exclusively handled through a municipal contract with Waste Management. Neighborhoods are divided into five distinct collection zones, with regular curbside service occurring Monday through Friday. Every participating home receives a 95-gallon roll-out cart for general household garbage and a slightly smaller 64-gallon roll-out cart for single-stream recyclables. The city strongly emphasizes efficiency, requiring all household waste to be bagged and placed inside the designated cart so the automated trucks can process routes without delays.
Property Tax Billing and Senior Discounts
Unlike many neighboring jurisdictions where residents pay a standalone monthly sanitation bill, Peachtree Corners integrates the cost of basic Waste Management services directly into the annual Gwinnett County property tax assessment. The standard rate is set at $226.19 per year, breaking down to approximately $18.85 per month. The local government also extends a generous 15 percent discount to senior citizens aged 65 and older. To claim this reduced rate of $192.20 annually, eligible seniors simply need to contact City Hall at 770-609-8816 and submit a copy of their valid driver's license for age verification.
Specialized Yard Waste and Bulk Collection
If you have more waste than your standard bins can handle, specialized services are available for an additional fee. Routine yard debris, such as grass clippings and leaves, is not included in the base property tax fee. Homeowners can set up dedicated yard waste pickup for a small monthly surcharge of $7.68, which allows for a maximum of 10 bags per week. Similarly, oversized items like furniture or appliances require a special bulk pickup. Each bulk item incurs a $30.75 charge, and residents must proactively call Waste Management at 404-794-6707 at least one week in advance to schedule the truck.
Navigating Glass Recycling Drop-Offs
While the 64-gallon recycling cart accepts plastics, cardboard, and aluminum, glass bottles and jars are strictly prohibited from curbside single-stream bins. To sustainably dispose of glass, Peachtree Corners residents must utilize designated drop-off sites, such as the one located near the entrance of Pinckneyville Park on South Old Peachtree Road, or the Corley Road facility. When dropping off materials, all glass must be clean, rinsed, and tossed in loose. Plastic bags and cardboard carrying boxes should never be thrown into the glass recycling receptacles.
Holiday Delays and Reporting Issues
Waste Management observes six major holidays during the year, including Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. If one of these holidays falls on a weekday, all subsequent collections for that week are shifted forward by one day. For example, Thursday neighborhoods will be serviced on Friday, and Friday routes will be completed on Saturday. If your carts are ever missed on a non-holiday week, you can report the issue immediately through the PTC Report It tool or by contacting customer support toll-free.
