DeKalb County ends curbside glass recycling

Effective July 17, DeKalb County residents can no longer place glass in curbside single-stream recycling. Glass should be separated from other recyclable materials. For residents who don’t want to sort their glass and drop it off at a recycling center, they should throw it away with the rest of the non-recyclable trash, according to county officials.

For those who want to recycle their glass food containers, the DeKalb County Sanitation Division’s glass recycling drop-off program offers 16 locations where county-operated glass recycling containers will be placed in parks, recreation centers, fire stations, libraries and Target store parking lots.
