• Senoia's Code of Ordinances Chapter 54 (Solid Waste) authorizes a bulky-item charge and never sets it. Sec. 54-3 says "Yard rubbish constitutes waste acceptable for collection by the city or its designated contractor. Garbage constitutes waste acceptable for collection by a private contractor for the city. Furniture and appliances may be picked up with prior notice for a set fee." The chapter as read contains no fee figure and does not mention a mattress. Sec. 54-2 makes service mandatory for improved residential property, once a week. Sec. 54-4 lists unacceptable waste (dangerous materials, building trash, ashes, yard trash except as provided, tires, and "All other solid waste not specifically authorized in this chapter"). Sec. 54-6(a): containers go to the curb "not earlier than 12:00 noon on the day prior to the scheduled service" and back by noon the day after. Sec. 54-7: an unauthorized accumulation of solid waste is a nuisance. Source Not confirmed: The "set fee" for furniture and appliances is authorized by Sec. 54-3 but no fee schedule for it was found, so no price is recorded and the pickup must not be read as free. Not confirmed: The code speaks of a 12:00 noon set-out for containers while the Sanitation page says 6:00 AM at the curb and removal by noon; bulk items have no set-out window in either. Not confirmed: A mattress is not named in the chapter.
• Senoia's Code of Ordinances Chapter 30 (Environment), Sec. 30-80, sets the penalty for littering and dumping on public or private property: a person who violates the litter article is guilty of a violation and is punished in municipal court by a fine of not less than $200.00 and not more than $1,000.00, with the court able to order the offender to pick up litter, and evidence rules that make the operator of a vehicle from which litter is dumped presumptively responsible. Source Not confirmed: The section number and fine range were read from Municode on 2026-09-29; the article's definition of litter was not read, so whether an abandoned mattress counts as litter is not established. Not confirmed: No apartment or HOA restriction was read.
