Henry County Recycling Center

Henry County Recycling Center at 65 W Asbury Rd in McDonough is the county spot locals use for household recyclables. It handles the kinds of materials typical for a recycling center - paper and cardboard, glass, plastics and metals - and many centers run special drop-off programs for things like electronics or paint (offerings and fees vary). The site feels like a working yard, not a retail lot.

Drive in off Asbury and follow the driveway toward the collection area; many county facilities have an entrance booth and a scale, so be prepared for a short stop if that’s the case. Large roll-off bins and covered bays are common, and separating materials by type speeds unloading. Expect weekends and spring-cleanup times to be the busiest; midweek mornings are usually quieter. The yard can be dusty and noisy during active drop-offs, so wear sturdy shoes and take care when moving items.
