Easy to use recycle center. Well labeled bins for different types of recyclable materials. Pay attention to their hours of operation. They are closed on Sundays and Wednesdays.

Perfect place to recycle - they accept #1 and #2 plastic bottles, cardboard/brown paper, scrap metal, large items not containing Freon (ovens, dishwashers, etc) aluminum cans, various electronics (like cords, microwaves, laptops, phones, ink cartridges, etc) office/newspaper, cooking oil, magazines, and food grade glass bottles/containers for their main free recycling items.However, they also accept books, donations for the American Kidney Fund, and durable medical equipment (which goes to FODAC via Sandy Springs Rotary Club) as well.If you’re a Sandy Springs or Johns Creek resident, they’ll take items with Freon, TV’s and computer monitors, printers, fluorescent lightbulbs and tubes, smoke detectors, and items with mercury for a fee.Document shredding is available to anyone for $1/pound.Everyone there is polite and they often have community service workers there to help offload heavier items.It’s a great place to do your everyday recycling to help keep our world a better place!

For the last three years, I've been dropping off recycling to this center and it has always been run smoothly. Today, there was an unexpected issue that came up and Ryder Leary, the executive director, could not have been more helpful and gracious. Incredibly friendly service and willingness to help!

The elder white guy there today was extremely rude to me. It was pouring down hard rain. I had my items all organized and placed them in the appropriate containers (plastic & cardboards). When I went to put a swifter sweeper container in the one of the bins I asked this staff member if it was okay. He yells that it depends on the number on the container (while sitting on his chair under the awning of the building). Since it was pouring down, I proceeded to the plastic bottles container with a huge garbage back of at least 50 plastic bottles. He then rushes off his chair to come and spy on me and starts yelling that I can’t put that in there and threatening mannerism. This is the moment he’s seeing the swifter sweeper container on the ledge of the bin as I had to use my only other 2 hands to empty out the plastic bottles into their appropriate bin. Instead of politely asking me if I understood what he said previously, he then tries to snatch my hefty bag out of my hand! And I told him to stop while he’s yelling that I can’t do that. Once I drop the bottles in and he sees that they are appropriate for that bin, he then walks away pretending he was never wrong about his tone with me. Of course at that point I told him he assumed wrong about it and could have been more polite. We are all already doing the planet a good thing to recycle and these centers make good profit, okay!!! They don’t need to be so rude and I can’t wait to move away so I don’t have to come here anymore.

Getting real picky about what types of #1 plastics that are acceptable. Closed on Wednesdays. Closed early on summer days when there are many hours of light left.

Dealt with the rudest woman at the window. Incredibly condescending and dismissive. I had never been and asked about possible payment, or documents to prove I live in Sandy Springs. I got a nasty response as if I shouldn’t have asked the question! Don’t have questions here, or just hope you don’t get her to “help” you. I’ll be coming back bc it’s free, but I’ll stay silent next time. Had tattoos if that helps stay awayEdit: management responded and provided a transcript. Which will show how cordial I was and confused. What isn’t captured is her tone and attitude which, despite management calling me a liar, was condescending and rude. Good day everyone

I bring cardboard boxes from work all the time here; best to have it sorted. They have a one way in and one way out to make it easier. They take #1 and #2 type plastic narrow neck containers without caps; aluminum cans, newspaper, shredded office paper, electronics, steel cans, office paper, glass, etc. As always, things should be cleaned to help the volunteers who help run this place. They don’t accept plastic bags or other types of plastics or styrofoam. The stuff I bring is small compared to the amount of cardboard we send to the dumpster, but at least I feel a little hopeful with a great recycling place like this. They are closed Wednesdays and sundays

I've been recycling as an individual for 2 decades. Now I get to recycle for a food pantry. Mr. Ken needs more space & help as this effort grows

Volunteers : You will regret it! Kathy “one of the owners” is VERY RUDE!! This place advertises to “make Sandy Springs beautiful” but her crude and condescending behavior towards the volunteers is unacceptable. She would never show this in-front of the Sandy Springs residents, of course. The unsafe and subpar nature of this establishment should be looked into by the city. In which I will strongly recommend and pursue, heavily and immediately!

They recycle just about everything recyclable. Friendly volunteers are always willing to help unload your goods and help sort. Note they no longer accept plastic bags/film; you’ll have to use drop boxes at grocery stores.
