Residents of unincorporated Gwinnett County may indeed participate a single stream recycling system. As noted on our website, Gwinnett's solid waste haulers use dedicated trucks for recycling and a method called “single stream recycling.” This means that recyclables are sorted at the recycling center, not curbside. Simply throw all of your recycling into one container — your solid waste hauler will sort it all later. Check out the many items you can recycle below! What materials can be set out for curbside recycling? Aluminum Aluminum beverage containers Aluminum baking tins Aluminum food containers Cardboard Cardboard boxes (broken down) Pizza boxes Glass Glass bottles and jars Junk Mail Discarded mail Greeting cards Envelopes Kraft Paper Paper grocery bags Magazines Shopping catalogs Mixed Paper Calendars School papers Carbonless forms – paper Newspapers and inserts Other Paper Computer paper Old phone directories Paperback books Paperboard Paperboard Cereal boxes Tissue boxes Paper towel cores Tissue paper cores Soda and beer cartons Shoe boxes Plastics #1: Soda and water bottles #2: Milk jugs, juice bottles, butter and yogurt tubs #3: Detergent and household cleaner containers, shampoo, and cooking oil bottles #4: Only squeezable bottles #5: Syrup, ketchup, and medicine bottles, straws, and some yogurt containers #6: Disposable plates and cups, aspirin bottles, CD cases #7: Three and five-gallon water bottles, certain food containers Steel Steel food containers Empty aerosol cans Clean metallic lids Additional information on the County's solid waste management program may be obtained through our website: www.sustainablegwinnett.com.
