Putnam County Recycling Convenience Center

Putnam County Recycling Convenience Center is the small recycling site on Scott Road that locals use to drop off household recyclables in Eatonton. Neighbors, landscapers and folks clearing out garages tend to stop by when they need to keep stuff out of the landfill. The site focuses on diverting common recyclables and typically runs any local recycling programs the county offers.

Drive up to a modest entrance area with a booth and a scale; plan to pause there before pulling into the main drop-off lanes. The lot is not huge-expect a handful of roll-off style containers or curbside-sized bins and clear traffic lanes for trucks and cars. Materials are usually grouped by type, so people pull up to the right container for paper, cardboard, glass, plastics or metals and unload into the appropriate bin. Because Georgia has rules around construction debris, large renovation loads are treated differently, so larger loads may require extra steps compared with residential drop-offs.
