Gwinnett County to host America Recycles Day event Nov. 7

GWINNETT COUNTY, GA—Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful and Gwinnett County Solid Waste Management will host an America Recycles Day event at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds on Saturday, Nov. 7, from 9 a.m. until noon.

Gwinnett County residents are invited to drop off select hard-to-recycle items that are not accepted curbside. Having served more than 1,400 residents at the 2025 event, Gwinnett officials say the county is looking to smash records this weekend.

Items that will be collected during the America Recycles Day event include:

• Paper for shredding – participants are asked to limit their paper to five copier paper boxes
• Electronics – Recycling is free except for TVs, monitors, and printers – ($15 cash fee per monitor or regular TV; $5 cash fee per printer). Projectors/Console TVs will be accepted for a $35 cash fee
• Paint – Oil-based and latex paint will be accepted during the event, but participants are asked to limit their paint to 10 gallons per vehicle. Empty or rusted paint cans will not be accepted, and cans must contain at least 25% wet paint to be recycled
• Tires – Participants are asked to limit their drop-off to 8 tires per vehicle. No dealer tires will be accepted, and tires must have rims removed and be free of water and debris
• Gently Used Clothes and Sneakers 

Participants should bear in mind that boxes and containers will NOT be returned, so they may wish to use disposable containers for their collected items.  

Gwinnett County Fairgrounds is located at 2405 Sugarloaf Parkway, Lawrenceville. Participants are asked to enter at the traffic light off Sugarloaf Parkway.
