 Attention Sanitation Customers in the City of Fairburn – Backdoor Service Update

We want to inform our valued customers who receive backdoor garbage collection service that a service change has taken effect as of Monday, June 9, 2025.

Due to an increase in backdoor service requests in your area, AMWaste has transitioned from automated side-loader trucks to non-CDL rear-load trucks with helpers. This adjustment allows us to better meet the growing demand and continue providing the reliable and courteous service you expect.

Please note:

  • Your pickup day remains the same.
  • Your garbage will be collected by the end of the day.
  • No action is required from you.
  • Our crew will continue collecting from your backdoor by the close of business 

We understand that changes can bring questions, and some customers have reached out with concerns. We want to reassure you that this new setup is designed to enhance consistency, attention to detail, and overall service quality for our backdoor service customers.

We appreciate your patience as our team adapts to this improved service method, and we remain committed to serving you with care and professionalism.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our customer service team at 770.969.3481.

Thank you for allowing us to serve your community.

 

 

 

Georgia's Summer Burn Ban Starts Today – May 1!

From May 1 through September 30, open burning of yard and land-clearing debris is prohibited in 54 Georgia counties to help reduce harmful ozone pollution during the summer months. ​

What’s Banned: Burning of yard waste and land-clearing debris​

What’s Allowed: Campfires and BBQs Agricultural and prescribed burns (with proper permits, except in the 19-county metro Atlanta area) ​

This annual ban, in place since 2005, aims to protect air quality and public health—especially for children, seniors, and those with respiratory conditions. ​

Need alternatives to burning? Consider composting, mulching, or hauling debris to an approved facility. ​ Let's keep Georgia's air clean this summer!

 

 

Beginning April 8, 2025, City of Fairburn Utilities will be conducting a Water Meter Change-Out Program to replace 1,250 aged meters throughout the city. This project is essential to ensure accurate readings and improved service.

What to Expect:

  • The change-out will be conducted by Aqua Meter Consultants on behalf of Fairburn Utilities.

  • You may experience a temporary disruption of service during the change-out.

  • Meters are located outside of homes within the street right of way – no need to be home for the change-out.

  • Contractors will have proper identification and marked vehicles.

  • No technician will need to enter your home at any time.

  • You may receive a courtesy “knock-on-the-door” when the technician arrives.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to enhance your utility service!

For questions or concerns, please contact Fairburn Utilities at (770) 969-3481 during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).
