Who We Are
The City of Atlanta Recycling Program is a division of the Department of Public Works/Office of Solid Waste Services. This division:
- promotes waste reduction
- recommends new recycling initiatives
- implements existing waste reduction and recycling programs; and
- educates City employees and the general public about recycling programs and opportunities.
This division also serves as a liaison with local, state, and federal agencies on recycling issues to ensure responsiveness to problems and concerns, prepares grant proposals and maintain records on the City’s recycling programs.
Citywide Recycling Curb-side Pick Up Service
Recycling collection is the same day as garbage collection. Please use a City-issued recycling bin or a larger bin clearly labeled "RECYLING". Eligible items include: aluminum cans, glass bottles / jars without lids, steel and tin cans, mixed paper, office paper, junk mail, telephone directories, magazines, boxboard, and empty cereal boxes. Effective July 7, 2008, we now collect old cardboard boxes at the curb, but the boxes must be broken or cut down to fit in the recycling bin (to keep it dry).
To obtain a recycling bin call 404.330.6333. For recycling tips, please call the City's Recycling Program Coordinator at 404.865-8540. |
