Waste Management - Forsyth City Recycling Center

This is the city recycling center run by Waste Management in north Alpharetta, used by residents looking to keep recyclables out of the landfill. Neighbors dropping off cardboard, bottles, cans and other common recyclables will find it convenient for household cleanups and small projects. The site sits on Shirlee Industrial Way, in an industrial area with easy truck access.

Drive in off Shirlee Industrial Way and you'll find a typical recycling lot with large roll-off containers and smaller bins for mixed materials. Staffed booths are common at centers like this, and vehicles usually pull up to the scale or attendant window before being directed to the proper container. Expect a mix of cars, pickup trucks and trailers; larger loads take more time to unload. Bins for cardboard and commingled items are usually grouped together, while bulk items are set off to the side.
