Chamblee Public Works wheels out a once-a-week sanitation schedule on April 1 to replace the twice-a-week schedule. Residents are recycling more and discarding less, and the new once-a-week schedule allows Chamblee to utilize its resources more cost-efficiently, according to officials.
The new system utilizes an automated mechanism that hoists and dumps rolling carts into the collection truck. The city of Chamblee is providing residential sanitation customers with a 95-gallon cart for sanitation, which will be delivered before once-a-week service begins. Residents can also request a 35-gallon cart for recycling (but can still use the 18-gallon bin if they prefer). There will also be a limited number of 65-gallon recycle carts on a first-come, first-served basis at www.chambleega.com/FormCenter/Public-Works-6/
The once-a-week service model will roll out in two phases: Phase I includes the areas north of Peachtree-DeKalb Airport to the Interstate 285 access road (Savoy Drive); east to the Doraville city limits and west to the Brookhaven city limits. Phase II includes the areas south of Peachtree-DeKalb
Phase I will receive their 95 gallon roll carts this week. Phase I is scheduled to begin around April 1. Phase II is scheduled to begin around July 1.
