The Douglasville Recycling Center, operated by the City of Douglasville and supported by Keep Douglasville Beautiful, is a drop-off facility open to all—residents and non-residents—that offers comprehensive recycling services, education programs, and community engagement to promote environmental stewardship and reduce landfill waste.
Notice: Public Services will begin collecting and removing residential curbside recycling bins in January 2026 since they are no longer utilized.
