Paulding County Recycling at 65 County Services Ln in Dallas is the local drop-off for household recyclables and small clean-up loads. Neighbors tend to come with bags, boxes or a small trailer during yard or garage cleanouts. Many recycling centers take paper, cardboard, glass, metal and common plastics, and some run occasional programs for electronics or household hazardous material collection.
The site looks like an industrial lot with concrete pads, metal sheds and big roll-off containers rather than anything fancy. There's often an entrance booth and a scale; many centers charge by weight, so be ready to stop again on the way out. Recycling bins are usually off to the right just past the entrance booth, with larger items dropped at the bigger bays. Weekends and spring-cleanup season get backed up, so lines can form and unloading can take longer than expected.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Flatten and bundle cardboard before pulling in - it saves time and makes the drop-off quicker.
- Sort glass, paper and metals ahead of time when possible; having items separated speeds up unloading.
- Bring gloves, a tarp or straps for trailers, and be prepared for one-way traffic flow so pulling through is smooth.
