City of Atlanta

Recycling Program Expands

Beginning February 1, 2004 residents who have City of Atlanta Recycling bins can add mixed paper to their curbside bin.  Mixed paper includes old magazines, old telephone directories, junk mail and boxboard, such as cereal boxes.  The program also accepts old newspapers, aluminum (tin) cans, plastic #1 and #2 bottles (i.e., milk, soda and detergent bottles) glass bottles and jars.

You can also recycle corrugated cardboard at two new City drop-off locations:

Lakewood Substation – 128 Claire Drive, SE

Liddell Substation – 1540 Northside Drive

The clearly marked drop-off containers are visible from the street.

Call 404.330.6776 or 404.792.1212 if you have questions about the recycling program expansion.
