Frequently Asked Questions

Does Augusta GA have curbside recycling?

Yes, through Coastal Waste & Recycling. The city ended its own recycling program in 2025, and Coastal took over curbside recycling on January 1, 2026. Sign up at coastalwasteinc.com/online-sign-up or call 706-790-4117. Coastal bills each household quarterly under a direct service agreement.

Paper products, mixed paper, cardboard, newsprint, magazines, catalogs, plastic containers labeled #1 and #2, steel or tin cans, and aluminum cans. Call Coastal at 706-790-4117 for cart, billing, or missed-pickup issues.

When is garbage pickup in Augusta GA?

Garbage goes out weekly in a black 65 or 95-gallon cart, and the smaller cart carries a lower rate. Set the cart at the curb by 6 a.m. on your service day and bring it back that evening. Find your day with the Find My Day of Service tool on augustaga.gov or call 706-592-3200.
