There is a search function on the upper right of the table on each page to help you find the item you’re looking for and learn how to recycle it.
As a quick rule of thumb, keep in mind that no matter wherever you are in Gwinnett, either in the unincorporated area of the county or within a city, what you can recycle curbside is the same: Empty plastic bottles and jugs that are marked with a #1 or a #2 resin identification code (the number inside the recycling symbol); empty metal food and beverage cans; empty aerosol cans; drink cartons; paper (except shredded paper); magazines and junk mail; and flattened cardboard. Recycling right is important, so download our visual flyer, print it out, put it on the refrigerator for your family to see, and share it on NextDoor and other social media to help get the word out. Happy recycling!
