Street Department

About Us

The City of Hartwell Street Department maintains approximately fifty (50) miles of roads throughout the city to insure safety to all. Duties include patching of pot holes, keeping drainage ditches open and flowing, removal of obstructions such as fallen tries, limbs, etc., and maintaining and insuring that street and road signs are properly replaced. This department also constructs and maintains sidewalks throughout the city. In addition, the department maintains the downtown area to help keep the area clean and beautiful.

This Department provides for removal of limb and leaf debris for its residents. Limb removal service is provided year-round, which during peek season can take up to 10 days for pick-up due to high volume. Bulk leaf pickup is provided from October through April of each year. Limbs and leaves should be placed on the front property line by residents to be picked up by the Street Department. Leaves and grass, if bagged, will be picked up year round, loose or non-bagged will only be picked up from October until April. For safety, residents need to be aware of obstructing the view of motorist when placing items on curbside. Items need to be separated and placed in an orderly manner. This will help make pick-up faster and safer for all.

Commercial tree cutting and yard maintenance is not collected by the City and should be disposed of by the contractor.

The Street Department also provides street sweeping for the downtown streets. Only streets with curbing are included in the sweeping schedule.

Any inquires or requests for service may be addressed by phoning (706) 376-4756 or (706) 856-3233.
