Where junk goes in Cumming
Inside the city limits, the city's Street Department guidelines say it collects old furniture, appliances, carpet and a little building material at the curb, free, on Mondays and Wednesdays. It does not take mattresses, tires, paint or anything hazardous. Fridges and freezers must be emptied first.
Outside the city, Forsyth County has no curbside trash pickup. Its recycling centers, two of them in Cumming, are for county residents only and refuse furniture, mattresses and anything too big for a 32-gallon bag, apart from metal, electronics and tires. For bulky items, the county points residents to private landfills such as Eagle Point in Ball Ground.
So a junk removal company is most useful for mattresses, for things you can't get to the curb yourself, and for whole rooms or houses. More in our guide to the Forsyth County recycling centers.
A fast-growing town
Census estimates put Cumming at 12,494 people in July 2025, up about 70% from 7,319 in 2020. Forsyth County as a whole added more than 31,000 people over the same five years.
That means a lot of moves: houses emptied before a sale, new homes with garages full of boxes, and older homes cleared for the next owner.

Will the city take my old mattress?

Who does the work?
An independent local junk removal company. Lake Lanier Junk Removal is a referral service run by Hometown Rise: it passes your request to a local company and doesn't do the hauling itself.
