If you live in Franklin, Centralhatchee, or Ephesus and want weekly curbside trash service, Bowdon Disposal serves Heard County. You can sign up online in a couple of minutes, and a red 95-gallon cart is delivered to your driveway within 24 to 48 hours. Plans start at $27.50/month on the annual plan, with no contracts and no hidden fees.

Here is how everything works out here, so you know what to expect before you sign up.

Why Heard County Trash Service Feels Different

Heard County is wide open. Many homes sit well back from the road, driveways run long, and neighbors can be a good distance apart. That is part of the charm, and it also means trash day can take real effort if your setup is not planned well.

We are a West Georgia company, and we serve rural homes like yours every day. Our slogan says it plainly: Your Neighbors, Your Trash Service.

What Standard Curbside Service Includes

Our standard service is weekly residential pickup with a signature 95-gallon red cart. Here is the simple version:

You get a large, sturdy cart delivered to your driveway.
You roll it to the road the night before your pickup day.
Our crew empties it, and you roll it back.

Households can have 1, 2, or 3 carts, depending on how much trash you make.

Prices You Can Plan Around

We keep pricing straightforward. There are no fuel fees, no environmental fees, and no surprise add-ons.

Standard weekly curbside service:

1 cart: $30/month, or $27.50/month on the annual plan ($330/year), which is the best value
2 carts: $60/month
3 carts: $90/month

Quarterly billing is also available, and it covers the same weekly service billed every three months. A one-time $25 processing fee applies when you start a recurring plan. For current pricing, always check bowdondisposal.com/pricing.

Long Gravel Driveway? Consider Trash Butler

If you have ever dragged a full cart down a long, bumpy driveway, you know it is no fun. That is exactly why we offer Trash Butler, our door-to-door service.

With Trash Butler, you never move your cart. Our crew drives up your driveway to wherever you keep the cart, empties it, and returns it to the same spot. It is a great fit for:

Homes with long, steep, or gravel driveways
Seniors and anyone with mobility challenges
Busy families who would rather not think about trash day

Trash Butler pricing:

1 cart: $45/month, or about $42.50/month on the annual plan
2 carts: $75/month
3 carts: $105/month

Getting started takes only a few minutes, and the easiest way is our online plan builder:

Visit the plan customizer.
Pick how many carts you need, and choose standard or door-to-door service.
Choose your billing cadence and enter your location.
Finish signing up.

After you sign up, here is what happens next:

A red cart is delivered to your driveway within 24 to 48 hours.
Our system automatically sends you a text message with your assigned pickup day and time within that same window.

That text is your source for your pickup day. Once it arrives, put your cart out the night before your pickup day, and you are set.

What Goes in the Cart

Your cart is for regular bagged household trash. Bag it, tie it, and keep each bag under about 50 pounds. Make sure the lid closes completely, with nothing hanging out.

Some things should never go in the cart, including:

Batteries of any kind
Tires
Large appliances
Electronics like TVs, monitors, and computers
Hazardous materials like pesticides, solvents, and motor oil
Propane tanks and spray paint cans
Construction debris
Yard waste, which goes to the county convenience center

Bulk items such as couches and mattresses are not part of curbside cart service, so take those to your county landfill. If you are ever unsure about an item, give us a call at (470) 943-3355.

Forgot to Roll the Cart Out?

It happens to everyone. If you miss your pickup day because the cart did not make it to the road, our OOPS! I Forgot the Trash service is a $25 one-time rescue. Existing customers can request it through the account portal, and our crew comes back before the week is out. There is no membership to join.
