Columbia County Recycling

Columbia County Recycling in Evans is the local recycling center where residents bring household recyclables and bulk items that don't belong in curbside bins. Neighbors drop off cardboard, mixed paper, plastics, metal cans and the occasional electronics or appliances that recycling centers commonly handle. It's the kind of place people use when a pickup won't do or when cleaning out a garage or yard.

Drive in at 3 Dolphin Way and look for a cluster of large recycling containers and sorting bays; most of the activity is outdoors with piles and bins arranged by material. There is usually a point to stop and get directions for where each material goes, and vehicles often pull up close to the bins for quick unloading. Weekends and spring-cleanup days tend to be the busiest, so lines can form and maneuvering a trailer takes a little patience. If construction debris is part of the load, Georgia facilities commonly have extra rules for that kind of material, so plan to separate it from regular recyclables.
