Curbside Exemption Form

  1. Curbside Garbage & Recycling Exemption Form

    Submit this form if you have a physical or other limitation that prevents you from complying with the curbside collection program. By submitting this form you are certifying that neither you nor anyone in your home is capable of rolling a garbage or recycling cart out to the curb for collection. Residents requesting an exemption must submit a letter from their medical provider verifying the need for an exemption. Exemptions are good for three years. See details below.

    Please select

  3. Under the City Code, exemptions will be approved only with a letter from a medical provider verifying that neither the applicant nor anyone living in the house is capable of rolling out the cart. THIS LETTER MUST BE DATED AND PRINTED ON THE MEDICAL PROVIDER'S LETTERHEAD. If you have an electronic copy of the letter use the CHOOSE FILE button to attach a copy to this application. (If your provider does not send you the letter electronically, all branches of the Forsyth County Public Library have scanners for public use that can create an electronic copy of your verification letter.)
