Small junk hauling and dump runs in Peachtree City

Some of Peachtree City's leftovers never fit curbside service: the yard-waste pickup from the city's approved garbage companies leaves out limbs longer than 5 feet or thicker than 4 inches, and no trash cart swallows a recliner or a dead washer, so a neighbor with a pickup or a trailer gets the call.

If you're hiring, sort what can go to the curb from what can't, so you're only paying for the loads that truly need a truck. If you're the one with the truck, every run in town comes with rules on covered loads and where a trailer can sit, and one bigger question, whether a paid hauler with a pickup falls under the city's solid-waste business rules, is worth settling with the city before you start.

After a storm in Peachtree City, the curbside yard-waste service doesn't take storm debris, which leaves fallen limbs to the homeowner or to a neighbor with a truck.

Good to know in Peachtree City

• Private businesses that collect and dispose of solid waste in the city must meet minimum requirements, including a state solid-waste handling permit and covered, leakproof vehicles; whether a neighbor making paid runs in a pickup counts is one to check with the city. (Peachtree City Code Sec. 42-83(d) (city code saved Sept. 15, 2026))
• Any load of garbage, trash or rubbish hauled on city streets must be completely covered or otherwise secured. (Peachtree City Code Sec. 42-47(a) (city code saved Sept. 15, 2026))
• A trailer can't be parked or left standing along a residential street, or kept in front of or beside a house unless it's inside a garage or roofed carport. (Peachtree City Code Sec. 78-17(b)-(c) (city code saved Sept. 15, 2026))
• Indoor furniture, appliances and building rubbish can't be stored outdoors under the city's property maintenance code, so a sofa waiting on the patio is a code problem, not just an eyesore. (Peachtree City Code Sec. 18-90(b)(3)c, Property Maintenance Code 302.10 as amended (city code saved Sept. 15, 2026))
• Hauling other people's trash or junk for pay counts as solid waste collection in Georgia: notify the state EPD within 30 days of starting, keep loads covered, and take the waste only to a permitted landfill or transfer station; items going to reuse or recycling are not solid waste.
