Solid Waste Collection Program Quick Reference Guide for Residents of the Town of
McIntosh:

  • Garbage:
Place your garbage at the curb before 7 am on Monday.
Please keep a 4' distance between your garbage canister,  your recycling bin and
other objects like plants or mailboxes.  Also, avoid placing your cans near cars,
basketball goals, or low tree branches or wires.
A distance of 40' must be kept away from 'Stop' signs.
Garbage cans should be no more than 32 gallon in size and no more than 5
containers per collection day.

  • Recycling:
Recycling collection is provided every other Thursday.  Look for the reminder on your
utility bill.  
Place your recycling bin at the curb before 7 am on your Thursday collection day.  
You may recycle household dry cell batteries, aluminum, steel, or tin cans, any color
glass bottles and plastic containers with recycling symbols #1 and #2, newspapers
and inserts, magazines, brown paper bags, and corrugated cardboard boxes.  No
broken or sheet glass.  
No pizza boxes (even though they are often corrugated), no pasteboard such as
cereal, shoe, or beverage cartons, or junk mail.  
No petroleum or hazardous waste containers.
Remember the success of this system relies on recycling rather than throwing away,
so please recycle all of the items mentioned here.

  • Yard Debris:
Place your yard waste at the curb before 7 am on Monday.
Place branches in 'armload' size piles when possible.
Loose yard waste must be placed in containers that weigh less than 40 pounds per
container.  The collection crew is not responsible for raking remaining
uncontainerized debris.
Limbs up to 4" in diameter and up to 4' in length may be stacked in piles that weigh no
more than 40 pounds.  Any limbs larger must be reduced (cut) to meet the length and
weight requirements.
Yard waste outside these specifications can be picked up for an additional fee.  Call
