Austell Public Works has made it easier for residents to stay connected about waste management collection and programs with two new tools - a collection day calendar and a mobile app, Austell Collects.

Both tools were designed to help residents remember their garbage and recycling day, know when a holiday will affect their collection day and see what day Public Works will be at their address to collect leaves and limbs.

Download the app through the Apple or Google Play app stores and search for Austell Collects.
