City of Lovejoy monthly bulk pick-up (AMWASTE, discounted rate)
All single-family homes in the City of Lovejoy, for which curbside trash service has been mandated since January 1, 2016. The city states that this "excludes mobile homes and apartments." Seniors 65 and older and disabled veterans who are exempt from property taxes are also exempt from sanitation fees, on an exemption filed each year by a homeowner resident at the address.
Conditions and source
Sanitation service includes "Weekly curbside trash pick-up & recycling" and "Monthly Bulk Pick Up ($15.00 - Lovejoy Discounted Rate)." To use it: "Bulk Pick-Up: Please contact AMWASTE to schedule your once-a-month bulk pick up," at (706) 298-7274. The weekly service costs $220 a year ($18.33 a month), added to the property tax bill unless pre-paid at City Hall before July 1. One cart is offered per household; extra carts or services are arranged and paid for directly with Amwaste. Amwaste does not take Christmas trees or any yard waste or debris, which residents must dispose of by other means. City Hall is at 2296 Talmadge Road, Lovejoy, GA 30250, (770) 471-2304.
Not confirmed: The city publishes no list of what counts as a bulk item and never names a mattress, so whether the $15.00 monthly pick-up takes one is not stated.
Not confirmed: No item limit is published for the monthly bulk pick-up and no price for a second one in the same month.
Not confirmed: Mobile homes and apartments are outside the mandated service and no alternative is published for them.

What Clayton County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Lovejoy and its neighbors.
- Sources disagree: Clayton County's Trash Amnesty page conflicts with the county's other pages. It prints the landfill address as 'Clayton County Landfill, 11678 Hastings Bridge Road, Hampton, GA 30228', whereas the county's landfill page prints the same street address as 'Lovejoy, GA' with no ZIP. On amnesty terms this page reads 'FREE Landfill Trash Disposal! Amnesty Days Only Valid Clayton County ID Required ($75 per ton with $40 minimum landfill fee will be effective for all other days.)' and adds the limit 'Mattresses are limited to four (4) per load', a line that does not appear on the Refuse Control page. The dates published on this page are April 2025 (Fri 18, Sat 19, Fri 25 and Sat April 26, 2025), while the Refuse Control page publishes May 2026 dates, so the two county pages disagree on which schedule is current. Source Not confirmed: The county publishes two different city/ZIP labels for the same landfill street address. Not confirmed: The county publishes two different amnesty date sets, one stale (2025) and one current (2026). Not confirmed: The four-mattress-per-load limit appears only on the page with the stale dates, so it is unclear whether it still applies.
- Not an option: Checked on 2026-09-22 for Clayton County coverage. The Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta accepts 'Mattresses and Box Springs (in any condition)' but publishes a limited pickup area: 'The Furniture Bank's pickup area includes most of Cobb, Gwinnett, Fulton and DeKalb counties.' Clayton County is not named in that list, so the Furniture Bank's donation pickup is not published as an option for Clayton residents. Source
