Waste Management will temporarily suspend bulky item and yard waste pickup in unincorporated Gwinnett County effective Friday, January 7 because of a surge in COVID-19 infections among its workforce. Waste Management will prioritize trash and recycling services.
This change comes as another waste hauler, Republic Services, earlier announced a similar temporarily suspended bulky waste pick-up because of Covid outbreaks.
Waste Management says that garbage and recycling services will remain the same. “Rest assured, we are working tirelessly to remedy the situation. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we navigate these challenging circumstances.”
