Roswell Makes Changes to Recycling Center, Curbside Collection Services, Effective July 1, 2021

The City of Roswell is making changes to the Roswell Recycling Center, with new hours of operations and new paint recycling. It is also changing fees for some curbside and commercial garbage pickup items. The Mayor and City Council approved the changes at their April 26 meeting.

The Roswell Recycling Center, located at 11570 Maxwell Road, Alpharetta, will implement the following changes to its operations effective July 1, 2021:

• Facility Hours: Tuesday–Saturday from 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM
• Paint Charge: A $3 per container of liquid latex or liquid oil-based paint. All containers will be charged the same rate.
• “While You Wait” paper shredding: Tuesdays-Fridays from 2:00–4:00 PM. Residents may still drop off paper for shredding anytime during operational hours. Paper dropped off will be held in a locked box until shredded at a later time.
• Closed to nonresidents until further notice.

The Roswell Recycling Center offers many services to Roswell residents that go beyond typical municipal recycling programs. The center accepts everyday items such as plastic, paper, metal, and glass to less typical items including appliances, tires, batteries, cell phones, printer cartridges, electronics, televisions, vegetable oil, motor oil and antifreeze.
