Your Brunswick crew
Our Brunswick crew is based here and covers the Golden Isles and the coast between Darien and St. Marys. Island homes, family houses being cleared after a loss, and older homes on the mainland are all part of the work.
Every job starts with a conversation, then a walkthrough with you, then a written plan that says what we’ll do, in what order, and what it costs. On work days we sort with you. Papers, photos, and anything that might matter are set aside for you to see. Nothing is thrown away because it looks like clutter.

Local knowledge
What’s different about cleanup in Brunswick
In Glynn County, the City of Brunswick and the county run separate services, and that changes who you call and what the rules are.
City or county: it decides the rules
Inside Brunswick city limits, code enforcement and bulk pickup are run by the City. On St. Simons and elsewhere in unincorporated Glynn, it’s the county. The address decides whose rules apply.
An older population
Nearly one in five Brunswick residents is 65 or older. Many calls come from adult children planning a parent’s move, or helping them stay home more safely.

Register for evacuation help early
Glynn County asks residents with medical or special needs to register now with the Health Department, (912) 264-3961, and to update it if they move. Clear exits and a reachable front door matter more in storm season.
No county drop-off for paint or chemicals
Glynn County’s drop-off centers don’t accept paint or household hazardous materials, and there’s no regular local collection day. Keep Golden Isles Beautiful (912-279-1490) can tell you current options.

Local disposal rules, if you’re clearing some things yourself
If you’re starting on your own, these Glynn County rules are worth knowing. Check the linked page before you rely on one.

Ask before putting a container on the right-of-way
Glynn County requires a Right-of-Way Use Permit for work in the county right-of-way. Its page doesn’t mention dumpsters, so ask the Right-of-Way Coordinator (912-554-7492) before a container goes on the road edge.

Questions
Questions from Brunswick families
Do you work on St. Simons, Sea Island, and Jekyll?
Yes. The Brunswick crew covers the islands as well as the mainland, from Darien down to Kingsland and St. Marys. Island jobs sometimes need more planning for parking and hauling, and we’ll talk that through at the walkthrough.
Why are bulk pickup rules different for my parent’s house and mine?
Because the City of Brunswick and Glynn County run separate services. City residents get one scheduled bulk pickup a month. County residents, including St. Simons, get two free bulky-item pickups a year. The address decides which applies.
We’re clearing a parent’s home in the Golden Isles from out of town. Can you help?
Yes, and it’s common here. Tell us what you’re hoping to find. Papers, photos, and anything on your list are set aside for you to review, and we’ll agree on how you’d like to stay involved if you can’t be there in person. Old statements and records can go to a shredding service instead of the trash.
Where can old paint and chemicals go in Glynn County?
Glynn County drop-off centers don’t accept them, and we couldn’t find a regular collection day. Keep Golden Isles Beautiful (912-279-1490) or the state Environmental Protection Division’s local office (912-264-7284) can tell you current options. Never pour them down a drain or onto the ground.
Is there a hoarding task force in Glynn County?
We couldn’t find one. For an older adult, the Coastal Georgia Area Agency on Aging (1-800-580-6860) is a good first call for services. If you’re worried about someone’s safety, call Georgia Adult Protective Services at 1-866-552-4464.
