Prior to their purchase by Waste Management, Advanced Disposal Services provided solid waste collection and recycling services in Lilburn.
All residences in Lilburn now receive weekly solid waste collection and disposal services from Waste Management. Weekly recycling and yard waste collection services had been provided by Waste Management through a contract with Latham Home Sanitation. Latham proposed a significant increase in the monthly cost of these services which resulted in the city switching to Waste Management for these services.
Recently, Waste Management proposed an increase in monthly residential collection fees and monthly commercial collection fees due to fuel and labor cost increases well as industry changes due, in part, to COVID-19.
The current five-year agreement with Waste Management expires on June 30. The Lilburn City Council approved the renewal and amendment of the agreement for an additional five-year period ending Dec. 31, 2026.
