Bulky Recycling Event- Johns Creek Residents ONLY

This event provides local Johns Creek residents with the opportunity to recycle and reuse large bulky items that are not normally accepted by their waste hauler. Each year at this event, tens of thousands of pounds of bulky items are recycled, refurbished, or donated. Accepted items include: large appliances, electronics, home medical equipment, furniture, metal items such as grills and lawn furniture, bicycles, lawn mowers, and more.  

New this year:   Please remember to wear a mask, and be prepared to unload your vehicle with minimal assistance, in order to maintain social distancing and protect our staff and volunteers. We recommend bringing another member of your household or a trusted assistant to help unload your items.
