Tropical Storm Fred is already making itself known in metro Atlanta and the delays from the storm have started.

The DeKalb County Sanitation Division may experience garbage collection delays for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday customers.

Sanitation crews will work through Saturday, if necessary, to ensure all households are serviced. County officials are encouraging residents to keep their garbage, recycling and yard trimmings at the curb until servicing occurs.
