What to do with tires, mattresses, paint, and more
Before you go
- Each household may bring up to ten 32-gallon bags of trash a week and bulky items that fit in a pickup bed (trailers up to 5 by 6 feet, loaded no more than 2 feet high), including limbs under 6 inches across and 6 feet long. Once a month, one large item such as a mattress, box spring, sofa, or chair. Bigger loads go to the landfill, which doesn’t take the hang tag: $30 for the first 900 pounds, then $66 a ton.
Convenience centers
- Newton County’s only trash service is its seven convenience centers, which need a vehicle hang tag: $185 for July 1 to June 30, for residents only, bought online, by mail, or at the hang tag office (8134 Geiger Street NW, Suite 7, Covington; 770-243-8613) with an application, driver’s license, and proof of residency. No business waste.
- The centers don’t take paint, batteries, oil, large tree debris, business waste, tires, animal carcasses, or hazardous chemicals.
