Help Gwinnett County maintain a sustainable environment by dropping off recyclable items at America Recycles Day on Saturday, November 14 from 9:00am to 2:00pm at Coolray Field. You can recycle electronics, latex paint, and paper on that day. Paper shredding is limited to five copier paper boxes and should be loose without binders or clips. Only latex paint which should be at least 25% wet usable will be accepted and is limited to 10 gallons per vehicle. Electronics recycling is free except for TVs or monitors, which cost $15 each, and printers, which cost $5 each, cash only. Social distancing measures will be in place. All attendees are encouraged to wear masks and must remain in their vehicles at all times. Items to be recycled should be placed in the trunks or back of vehicles where they will be removed by vendors. Materials should be placed in disposable containers or boxes as containers will not be returned.
