I've been recycling as an individual for 2 decades. Now I get to recycle for a food pantry. Mr. Ken needs more space & help as this effort grows

Great neighborhood recycling center. Vast array of recycling sources. Need to pay for recycling some electronics - TVs, monitors, and computers.

Volunteers : You will regret it! Kathy “one of the owners” is VERY RUDE!! This place advertises to “make Sandy Springs beautiful” but her crude and condescending behavior towards the volunteers is unacceptable. She would never show this in-front of the Sandy Springs residents, of course. The unsafe and subpar nature of this establishment should be looked into by the city. In which I will strongly recommend and pursue, heavily and immediately!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Disposal of four foot florescent tubes?

Sandy Springs Recycling Center | Oct 30, 2021

Check with Batteries Plus or check with the retailer where you purchased them. They often take them back. Or at least they should. If you are a resident of Sandy Springs, we can take them for a fee. See our fee structure at https://keepnorthfultonbeautiful.org/what-we-do-%26-dont-accept It is important to recycle them because they contain mercury and phosphorous. Also, try earth911.com and use their recycle search feature to find the closest place to recycle them.

A couple of weeks ago, I was there and they were taking such items. However, I am not sure if they only do during certain periods. You might call ahead and see if they're currently taking such items or the next available time that they will.

Do you take a trash? if do how much?

Navin Patel | Oct 30, 2020

Do they recycle Tetra Pak?

Ranu John | Oct 30, 2020
Sandy Springs Recycling Center | Oct 30, 2020

No, we do not recycle Tetra Paks, although they are, in theory, recyclable. Here is an article on the subject: https://www.wikihow.com/Recycle-Tetra-Paks Please note that the article directs the reader to the Carton Council website, which indicates that Tetra Paks are recyclable in Sandy Springs via curbside pickup, and has a link to our website. (Confusing!) Regarding curbside recycling, before assuming that your local curbside waste hauler will recycle Tetra Paks, it is best to contact them before adding those materials to your curbside recycling. It might be worth investigating a mail-back option as mentioned by the Carton Council, if you are truly dedicated to recycling these products. This article, which offers a more cynical perspective on the topic, is worth a read: https://mashable.com/article/tetra-pak-recycle/ Thank you for trying to make the right decision! Sometimes things are not clear cut! -Kathy Reed, Executive Director, Keep North Fulton Beautiful

Do you recycle styrofoam?

Terri Williams | Oct 31, 2019
Kris Turnbull | Oct 31, 2019

No they don't. The only place I have found is in Atlanta. The city of Atlanta does on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 9-12 pm at 2nd Ponce de Leon Baptist church. Their address is 2715 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30305

Do you recycle paint cans?

Lyn Crooms | Oct 31, 2019
Jason Thevis | Oct 30, 2020

For recycling paint there is https://www.atlantapaintdisposal.com/ Also, as long as the paint cans are dried out (kitty litter will speed the process) you can dispose in household garbage. We use Atlanta Paint Disposal whenever we have wet paint to dispose of. Their website offers pickup days/times and there is a per can/container fee as they are a private business. Of course most of Atlanta’s surrounding cities and parks etc offer a yearly paint drive but you just need to catch them on the right weekend.🤔 Good Luck! Jason Thevis, Integrity Painting Service.com

For hazardous stuff, try CHaRM (the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials); most stuff CHaRM will accept for free, but they do charge to take some things (like old mattresses or paint, above a certain number of cans per visit). They're only open certain days of the week so check their website at: https://livethrive.org/charm/
