Put the small stuff – pruning and grass clippings, petered-out summer flowers, etc.- in bags and set them curbside. A truck will come to take them away within 7 to 10 days.
Lay the larger limbs and sticks curbside with the butt ends facing the street. Within a few weeks, the chipper truck will haul them away.
The chipper truck does not grind limbs over 4 inches in diameter. Limbs over 4 inches may be hauled by the homeowner to Habersham County landfill.
And for those that want leaves and chips, a quick call to City Hall 706-778-8585 will get them delivered to your door (if the truck can back up to it). This service is available only inside city limit
