Who's picking up the trash?

Uh oh!

I have my existing garbage carrier whose service was supposed to end in a couple of weeks.

I also have new garbage bins in my garage scheduled to start on Jan 2.

Now the new garbage plan is halted and I need to figure out what to do with it all.

A Superior Court judge Thursday blocked implementation of Gwinnett County’s new trash disposal program — leaving some 180,000 households in the unincorporated areas of the county wondering who will pick up their garbage in January.

Judge Michael C. Clark ruled the county plan, which was to begin Jan. 2, violated state law by delegating governmental functions to a private entity, Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful Services. The nonprofit corporation had been tapped by the county to administer a new waste program that expanded and mandated recycling and that consolidated service by contracting with two haulers.
