America Recycles Day
Each year, Gwinnett County Solid Waste Management and Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful join with the global community to celebrate America Recycles Day. Residents have the opportunity to drop off items that are typically more difficult to recycle such as electronics, latex and oil-based paints, clothing, sneakers, and tires. Paper shredding is also available.
Community Engagement
Gwinnett County Solid Waste Management hosts several educational events and outreach programs throughout the year by partnering with local organizations such as Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful and the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center.
