It's almost time for the signs to come down. [collective sigh of relief] But where should they go? ⤵
The metal frame is of course recyclable. The signs themselves are not, so try to repurpose when you can. Paint or tape over it, and you can use it to advertise your own yard sale, fundraiser, or community event. Use it as a spray painting dropcloth. Collect 52 of them, and you can make your own jumbo playing cards!

Who are we missing? If you have farm animals, and you want the public to donate their pumpkins to you, comment here, and we'll add you! (Please only donate unbleached, unpainted, mold-free pumpkins and gourds for the safety of the animals!)

Hey Folks! Here is a great opportunity that is a win all the way around. Clean out old tires from your garage or barn and head to the Wheels for Warmth drop off locations Thurs. or Friday.

Whether you're refilling a propane tank, repairing a printer, recycling a mattress, repurposing a jar, or rehoming a printer, there's always a way to extend the lifespan of your items.

Hey, so... uh... this is what a Bad Battery™ looks like. If you have something that shouldn't normally be puffy, and it puffs, bring it to Georgia Recycling Center at your earliest convenience! We did not open these for a photo op; this is what they looked like when a customer brought them in. These puffs were powerful enough to wedge open cases that're normally sealed shut.

It's practically magic how affordable our trash disposal is. 🔮

Even if you've never been to one of our drop-off sites... Even if you're not totally sure who we are... WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! There are 50k people who live in the District, and we have heard from less than 1000 of you. surveymonkey.com/r/talktrash

This summer, we're launching a survey to help us better understand the habits and preferences of the 50,000+ people who live in the District. Whether we see you every Saturday or you visited us one time years ago, we want to hear from you! 🔊👂🏻

🖱 Scan the QR code or visit www.surveymonkey.com/r/talktrash to make your voice heard.

It can be hard for customers to grasp that Georgia Recycling Center closes on the half-hour Monday thru Friday. When people make the trip only to be turned away and sent home, they can get pretty choked up. Before you drive to any of our sites, consider double-checking the hours by visiting nwswd.org/locations.
