Refuse Control

---

Office hours: Monday - Friday (8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.)

On March 17, 2009, the Board of Commissioners created the Corrections Department by combining Clayton County Prison, Refuse Control and the Transportation & Development Grass-cutting Section placing all under the leadership and management of Warden Frank Taylor Smith.

Refuse Control Division's mission is the cleaning of county buildings, the removal of litter from grounds and roads, graffiti abatement, and grass cutting using inmate labor and court ordered community service workers.

County residents can contact Refuse Control to have debris removed for a nominal fee.  Yard debris, furniture, appliances, limbs (up to 6" in diameter and no longer than 10 ft.), bags of leaves, and miscellaneous items can be picked up.  Old paint cans will only be accepted if they are empty or the paint has been solidified with cat litter with no lid attached. The following items cannot be picked up: tree trunks, batteries, shingles, bricks, any heavy metal or hazardous items.

For Debris Removal: Call 770-477-3548
Debris must be at the street by the curb.  An inspector will assess the cost.  Pick up of debris will be within 1-3 working days after receipt of payment.  Payment can be made to the inspector by check. You can call the office and pay by credit card.  You can mail a check or money order.  You can also come into the office and pay by cash, check, money order, or credit card.
