CLARKESVILLE, Ga. — Habersham County will expand recycling options for residents next week by adding metal can collection at two of its recycling centers.
Beginning Monday, March 16, the county will place collection trailers for tin and other metal cans at the Cornelia and Clarkesville recycling centers. The trailers will accept everyday household metal containers such as vegetable cans, pet food cans and similar items.
County officials say the new service comes after residents asked about expanded recycling options during last week’s Meet Your Government Day event.
“We heard from many citizens who asked about recycling metal cans at our recycling centers,” Solid Waste Director Johnnie Vickers said. “We appreciate the feedback and are glad to be able to expand this service to make recycling more convenient for our residents.”
The county says the trailers are intended only for smaller household metal cans. Larger metal items will continue to be accepted only at the Habersham County Landfill.
Officials encourage residents to take advantage of the new option as part of ongoing efforts to reduce waste and keep the community clean.
Residents with questions about recycling services can contact the Habersham County Solid Waste Department.
