Mixed paper and mixed cardboard are now accepted at all sites. Previously, only newspaper and corrugated cardboard were recyclable, in addition to cans, glass and some plastics. See what you can recycle.
"This added convenience is expected to exponentially increase the amount of recycling in Hall County, which will extend the life of the landfill," said Rick Foote, Natural Resources Coordinator.
Even greater convenience may be on the way, depending on the results of a pilot study of modified single stream recycling at Flowery Branch and Sardis compactor sites.
At those two sites only, cans, glass, and #1-7 plastics go in the same bin (mixed paper and mixed cardboard each have separate bins, as well). If the pilot is successful, the program could be implemented countywide. Until that time, users at all other sites must continue to separate cans, glass and plastic.
Paint recycling is another new opportunity, available only at the Hall County Landfill, 1700 Oak Brook Drive, Gainesville. Now residents and businesses can dispose of paint at the landfill without the mess and expense of using a chemical additive.
