Beautification

Once items have been placed curbside, residents must complete a bulky item or special collection request. Bulky items are included in residents’ annual sanitation assessment fees, but special collection items incur a prepaid special collection fee (see below).

The Beautification Unit maintains DeKalb County’s public rights of way in unincorporated areas through mowing, herbicide treatment, tree trimming, curb bumping, and street sweeping.
