What it unlocks
Collection staff retrieve and return eligible garbage and recycling carts from the approved location rather than requiring curb placement, without an added backyard-service charge.
Who qualifies
Eligible Atlanta resident physically unable to place solid-waste carts at the curb
Requirements
Be an eligible City of Atlanta solid-waste customer with a physical limitation, have no other qualifying household assistance under current rules, submit the required application and medical verification, and recertify when required.
How to activate
Complete the current backyard-service application and health-provider verification, submit them through the listed channel, and follow recertification instructions after approval.
