The department oversees three divisions: Recycling, Solid Waste and Stormwater. The Recycling Division can answer residents' questions on recycling drop-off locations, annual recycling events and more.
The Solid Waste Division deals with waste disposal, with a minimum fee assessed for all loads and a total amount based on the tonnage disposed.
The Stormwater Division deals with drainage problems associated with detention ponds. Those who see such problems should call the division. Drainage problems along a right of way should be reported to the Paulding County Department of Transportation. If a drainage problem is along an easement, it is the homeowner's responsibility to resolve the issue.
