Bulky Recycling Day

Johns Creek offers an annual Bulky Items Recycling Day in which residents can bring items not typically collected by a curbside waste hauler, which are then donated, refurbished, or recycled. Accepted items include: electronics, large appliances, furniture, clothing, books, grills, lawn furniture, bicycles, and more. The event is held during the summer at City Hall (11360 Lakefield Drive). Check the Keep North Fulton Beautiful website for pre-registration details.

This event allows residents to recycle their Christmas trees the first Saturday in January at the Home Depot on State Bridge Road.
