What it takes
It’s the only one of Fulton County’s recycling centers that takes used motor oil. It’s one of two Fulton County recycling centers that take tires, appliances, paint, electronics, and some batteries. The Roswell Transfer Station and the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHaRM Atlanta) take mattresses. The Merk Miles Citizens Convenience Center takes brush.
Each item has its own rules. Check before you go.
Fulton County rules
- Fulton County runs no trash pickup or drop-off of its own: the whole county lies inside its 15 cities, which provide trash service. The county’s Solid Waste and Recycling page links each city’s trash page.
- On the third Saturday of each month from February through December, the City of Atlanta holds Atlanta Recycles Day at Greenbriar Mall for city residents: paper shredding, plus recycling for tires, small electronics, and household recyclables (glass, cardboard, books, cans).
- Alpharetta residents can drop off glass, and only glass, around the clock in the Public Works parking lot at 1790 Hembree Road. Johns Creek residents can recycle glass at Ocee Park (10900 Buice Road) and Cauley Creek Park (7255 Bell Road).
