What Time Does the Trash Truck Come in Tifton?

Quick Answer

Trash trucks in Tifton begin routes at 6:30 AM. Your cart should be at the curb by 6:00 AM on your scheduled pickup day.

The Details

Ryland Environmental services the City of Tifton under an exclusive residential contract. Pickup times vary depending on where you are on the route - some homes are serviced early morning, others mid-day or afternoon. The only guarantee is that your trash will be collected on your scheduled day, so make sure your cart is out by 6:00 AM.

Routes may run later than usual due to weather, holidays, or heavy volume. If it's past 6:00 PM and your trash hasn't been picked up, report a missed pickup by calling our Tifton office.

Holiday Delays

Pickup is pushed back one day after these holidays:

  • New Year's Day
  • Memorial Day
  • Thanksgiving
  • Christmas

Example: If your normal pickup is Wednesday and the holiday falls on Monday, your pickup moves to Thursday that week.

Pro Tips

  • Set your cart out the night before if you leave for work early
  • Wheels against the curb, handle facing your house
  • Keep 3 feet of space between your trash and recycling carts
  • Don't block mailboxes, fire hydrants, or parked cars
