1. What are White Goods?

White goods are appliances such as:

• Air Conditioners
• Clothes Dryers
• Dishwashers
• Electronic Waste (i.e.: Computers, Monitors, Televisions, Stereo)
• Microwaves
• Refrigerators
• Stoves
• Trash Compactors
• Washing Machines
• Water Heaters

2. Why do the white goods and special pickups have to be scheduled in advance?

This is part of the regulated waste that has to be handled separately from the normal waste stream. There is an additional fee for this service. This per-occurrence fee will be reflected on the next water bill. The fee will be based on what is being picked up. This must be scheduled in advance by calling the Solid Waste Division at 770-532-0493.

This type of pickup will only be done when there is available equipment and personnel. It is a violation of City of Gainesville regulations if such items are placed curbside prior to making the necessary arrangements to get it removed.
