Solid Waste Management

As of August 1, 2021, Red Oak Sanitation purchased Sanitation Solutions Incorporated and has assumed their operations in unincorporated northern Gwinnett County. The service area is predominantly in the Buford area north of Highway 20 and west of Interstate 85.

At this time, your current service day will remain the same.

If you have any questions, please call Red Oak Sanitation at 770.886.7323 or Gwinnett County Solid Waste at 770.822.7141.

Making a difference is free and easy! Your recycling adds up. Act today for tomorrow and request a free 65-gallon recycling cart. Due to the successful response to our 65-gallon recycling container program, additional time may be required for cart delivery. 

To request a free 65-gallon recycling cart or to report a damaged recycling cart click here or call Solid Waste Management at 770.822.7141.

If you already have a 65-gallon recycling cart, click here for a list of acceptable items. Please continue to recycle and place your cart at the curb for collection on your service day.

Gwinnett County and our contracted residential solid waste haulers are committed to providing safe and quality service.

You can help by:

• Bagging trash;
• Not bagging recycling and removing food and liquid residue;
• Recycling only plastic bottles and jugs, paper, cardboard, cartons, and metal cans;
• Emptying liquids from containers; and
• Disinfecting container handles and lids.

Solid Waste Management oversees contracted services for residential trash collection and recycling and manages franchise agreements with Commercial and Construction or Demolition Waste Service Providers. Service requirements are specified in the Gwinnett County Solid Waste Ordinance and Residential Solid Waste Service Agreement. Solid Waste Management is a part of the Support Services Department.
