(770) 343-2774A small-town recycling center in Hampton that mainly handles household recyclables and common discardables people bring in from the neighborhood. Locals drop off everything from cardboard and paper to metals and bottles here, and occasional programs for electronics or bulky items can pop up. It's the kind of place run for practical errands rather than a fancy operation.
Pull up to a marked entrance and look for a booth or attendant area where people usually check in or get directions; lanes for vehicles and a few open-top containers are the likely setup. Material piles and roll-off containers are visible from the road, with separate areas for cardboard, mixed recyclables and scrap metal at many centers. Traffic picks up on weekends and during spring cleanups, so be prepared to wait in line behind pickup trucks and trailers. Remember Georgia has rules about construction debris, so loads that include demolition material may be treated differently than regular household recycling.
