Augusta, GA will launch a new curbside recycling program starting November 1, 2025, allowing residents to recycle materials from the comfort of their homes. Managed by Coastal Waste & Recycling, the program aims to enhance waste management services and promote environmental sustainability within the community.
Registration for the curbside recycling service will open on August 1, 2025. Interested residents must formally request the service and agree to a quarterly fee for participation. Once registered, residents can expect to receive a 95-gallon recycling cart designated for their recyclable materials.
The recycling collection service will occur every other week, ensuring that residents have regular opportunities to dispose of their recyclable materials. Collections will take place between 7 a.m. and no later than 8 p.m. to accommodate varying schedules.
How to Register
Residents can register for the curbside recycling program in two ways: online through the Coastal Waste & Recycling website or by calling the designated phone number at (706) 790-4117. Early registration is encouraged to ensure a smooth rollout of the program as the start date approaches.
Impact on the Community
The return of the curbside recycling program is being viewed as a significant development for Augusta residents. The program is designed not only to streamline the recycling process for households but also to contribute to a greener environment. By providing easily accessible recycling options, the city aims to increase community participation in recycling initiatives.
Previous Recycling Efforts
This new program brings back a curbside recycling service that was previously offered in the city but has since been discontinued. This past discontinuation led to increased awareness and advocacy for more sustainable waste management practices. The upcoming program is expected to fill the gap that had been created and reinstate the community’s commitment to recycling and responsible waste management.
Broader Environmental Goals
Implementing a curbside recycling program aligns with broader environmental goals set by municipalities across the United States. Cities are increasingly recognizing the importance of recycling programs as vital components in reducing landfill waste and minimizing the negative impacts of waste on the environment. Augusta’s initiative is part of a larger movement emphasizing the necessity of community involvement in sustainable practices.
