CITYWIDE TRASH SERVICE


Effective January 1, 2016, curbside trash service will be mandated for all single-family homes in the City of Lovejoy. This excludes mobile homes and apartments. Curbside trash service will continue with the current approved service provider.

FAQ's:

Do you pick up old Christmas trees? Amwaste does not dispose of Christmas trees or any type of yard waste/ debris. Customers must find an alternate means of disposal. 

Can I get an additional trashcan? One can is offered per household. However, you can sign up directly with Amwaste for an additional trash can or service. For any additional services, you will pay Amwaste directly. 

Amwaste Trash Service Holiday Schedule:

We observe the following holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

Only holidays that fall Monday-Friday will affect your pick-up; those on weekends have no effect.

If your pick-up day falls ON the holiday, it will be pushed to the following day.

If your pick-up day falls AFTER the holiday, it will be pushed to the following day.

If your pick -up day falls BEFORE the holiday, it will NOT be affected.

Example: Thanksgiving Week. Monday = same day; Tuesday = same day; Wednesday = same day; Thursday moves to Friday; Friday moves to Saturday.

No later than (after July 1) or partial payments will be accepted as prepayments. Payments and forms should be submitted at City Hall. Sanitation fees may still appear on tax bills; however, you will receive a receipt and stamped proof of payment. If this is the case, the payment amount may be deducted from the total amount due. You may also submit documentation to your escrow or mortgage company if necessary. Forms and payments must be submitted by July 1.

  • If you do not currently have trash service, contact Amwaste to receive a trash receptacle.
