Spalding Recycling Center

Small municipal recycling center in Griffin that locals drop by with curbside overflow or small truckloads. Neighbors, renters and DIY types tend to use it for sorting out paper, cardboard, bottles and cans. It’s the kind of place people swing past between errands rather than make a special trip for.

Drive into 1360 Meriwether Street and look for a single entrance with an attendant booth near the pull-up area; the bins and roll-offs sit not far past the booth. Common materials accepted at centers like this include paper and cardboard, glass, aluminum and steel cans, and many plastics - expect separate containers for each. There’s usually a scale to record loads so vehicles often stop twice, once in and once on the way out. Weekends and spring cleanup times can build a line, and the site itself is mostly open pavement with large metal containers and concrete islands.
