"We'd love for people swing by Roswell Recycle Center first, take out any items that could be reused again, versus putting it in a landfill," said Cindy Eades, Milton Sustainability coordinator.
We would encourage people to take stock of the items they are going to bring in for bulky trash and if they see anything [that] could be reused, run it by the Roswell Recycling Center, which has a Goodwill drop off, or North Fulton Community Charities, or another charity of their choosing, before bringing the item to bulky trash amnesty day.
Eades said the only bulky items that are really going to be recycled from bulky trash day are the appliances and appliances. Everything else will be put in roll off containers or Roswell trash trucks, and is destined for landfills.
