Carroll County Convenience Center

Small, local drop-off spot for Temple residents who need to get rid of household trash, recyclables, and yard clippings. The center sits on Old Villa Rica Road and is the kind of place neighbors use when a regular trash pickup won't cut it.

Pull into a simple paved lot with a few large roll-off containers and a small entrance area; it looks more like a municipal lot than a commercial transfer station. There may be an entrance booth or signage marking where to pull up, and traffic usually follows a one-way flow past the containers. Bring something to cover or tie down loose loads, and be prepared to lift and sort items onto the right pile or into the right container. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be busiest so expect a line if driving up mid-morning.
