Customers will now have the opportunity to recycle 35 different items as part of their regular solid waste pickup service ( IF Recycling is now offered in your area.) Place the bin curbside on your collection day and set it at least three feet away from other carts or objects.
The new Gwinnett County Solid Waste plan includes service to 1 Garbage Can, and Recycling. We provide one recycling bin or 1 65-gallon rolling cart. Other recycling containers are acceptable from other carriers, as well as small garbage cans that are clearly painted with “RECYCLING” on the container. Yard Waste Service and Additional Can Service are billed separately to the homeowner, and this service can be established by calling our office Monday – Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m..
