DeKalb to host final recycling roll cart exchange event 

The DeKalb County Sanitation Division will host its final recycling roll cart exchange event on Dec. 8, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m., at North DeKalb Mall, 2050 Lawrenceville Highway, Decatur. The mandatory recycling bin trade-in deadline is Dec. 28.

Existing recycling subscribers will have an opportunity to complete the mandatory recycling bin trade-in process, by exchanging an 18-gallon recycling bin for a complimentary 35-gallon recycling roll cart, or upgrading to a 65-gallon recycling roll cart for a one-time $15 prepaid fee. New recycling subscriptions can also be processed during the event. 

Only 500 roll carts will be available, and requests will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants unable to obtain a roll cart during the event can submit a completed subscription form onsite. The requested roll cart will be delivered to the service address within 10 business days after the event. All event participants are required to complete a recycling subscription form, which can be obtained by visiting www.dekalbsanitation.com, and will be available at the event.

Roll cart exchange requests can also be submitted by mail; online by visiting www.dekalbsanitation.com; in person at the Sanitation Division’s administration building, Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.; or by emailing sanitation3720@dekalbcountyga.gov. A recycling subscription form must be completed and is available online. The exchange process must be completed by Dec. 28, 2018.
