Staffing shortages have forced Solid Waste
Department staff to make the hard decision to close
the recycling drop-off site located behind the Georgia Square Mall, effective July 31, 2023.

[ACC Solid Waste Department @accsolidwaste]

Rampant illegal dumping has contributed to this decision – we simply do not have staff to keep the site cleaned to our standards. Our recycling customers deserve better, and we hope they’ll continue using our remaining recycling
drop-off sites.

[ACC Solid Waste Department @accsolidwaste]

CHARM will be closed for annual cleaning and maintenance the week of June 12–18. We will be back open on June 20th at regular hours to help you with all your hard-to-recycle materials. Check webpage for more info on CHaRM: https://t.co/2LGgqQ5l9P

It’s a promise of a new day out at the landfill. If you aren’t recycling, here’s your sign that today can be the day. Or composting or refusing or reusing.

Due to the raising costs of operations (fuel, labor, equipment), it is necessary to implement the first residential and commercial rate increase since 2011. Our website has a detailed list.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside our control, there will be a price increase for solid waste services effective July 1st.

Wondering what to do with your campaign signs now that the election is over? Take them to CHaRM!

Many campaign signs are made of corrugated plastic with metal frames and stakes - not recyclable in your home curbside recycling cart. https://t.co/nPRPmVuLgr #recyclerightathens
