We want to inform you of upcoming changes to our garbage and recycling collection services as we transition from Waste Management to AmWaste. Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible for everyone.

Beginning the week of October 12th, the transition will be visible in neighborhoods across the county. Please take note of the following important steps:

Cart Removal: Every property that currently has a Waste Management poly cart (including second homes, vacation homes, and rental properties) must place those carts at the curb for pickup. This starts on Monday the week of 10/13/2025.

Be a Good Neighbor: If you know a neighbor who is not a full-time resident, please help us spread the word or assist in getting their cart to the curb.

New Cart Delivery: AmWaste will provide one (1) poly cart for garbage service to each property.

Additional Carts & Recycling: If you require more than one garbage cart, or if you would like recycling service, you must call AmWaste directly to establish your account and request additional carts.

We understand change can sometimes be inconvenient, but your cooperation will help ensure a successful start with AmWaste.

For more details about service features and specific changes, please see the information below.

Thank you for your patience and for working together as neighbors to keep McIntosh County clean and welcoming.
