Recycling Center
Rock Creek Road Convenience Recycling Center
280 Rock Creek Rd, Gray, GA 31032
(478) 745-9172A small county recycling center off Rock Creek Road that locals from Gray and nearby farms use to keep household recyclables out of the landfill. Expect it to be the kind of place people stop at on weekend cleanups or after a run to the hardware store for empty paint cans and cardboard.
The site feels rural and functional rather than fancy - a modest drive-in area with rows of containers for different materials. Centers like this commonly take cardboard, mixed paper, plastics, glass and scrap metal, and sometimes offer separate drop-off for electronics or yard debris. There is usually a simple entrance kiosk or booth and an obvious pull-up lane for unloading; plan to pull up, sort items into the correct bin, then move on to let the next vehicle in. Weekends and spring cleanup times can be noticeably busier, so expect to queue during peak times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring materials pre-sorted into clear piles or labeled boxes so unloading is quick and others aren’t held up.
- Flatten and bundle cardboard to save space and avoid repeated trips to the same bin.
- Secure loose items with a tarp or straps for the drive in and wear gloves - edges and broken glass are common on drop-off sites.
