At Atlanta Recycles, we’re passionate about making a positive impact on our city through responsible recycling. For us, recycling isn’t just about reducing waste it’s about protecting the environment, boosting the local economy, and creating a healthier, greener future for Atlanta. Whether you’re teaching a neighbor how to recycle or starting a workplace recycling program, your actions can make a real difference.

We are a coalition of governmental, corporate, and environmental organizations working together to promote recycling and strengthen the collection infrastructure for recyclable materials. Our mission is to inspire a culture of sustainability by making recycling simple, accessible, and impactful for everyone in Atlanta.

Why Recycling Matters

Every year, millions of dollars’ worth of recyclable materials like cardboard, aluminum, plastic, and metal end up in landfills instead of being reused. This not only wastes valuable resources but also drives up waste management costs. Meanwhile, many local businesses depend on recycled materials for manufacturing but struggle to access enough due to collection gaps and limited public awareness.

By recycling more, we can:

  • Support local businesses by keeping materials in the community.
  • Reduce landfill waste and protect natural resources.
  • Conserve energy and reduce costs through material recovery.

Our Commitment & Challenges

We collaborate with businesses, schools, residential communities, and public spaces to make recycling more effective citywide. From helping offices implement cost-effective programs to expanding recycling options in parks and educating students about sustainability, our goal is to make recycling second nature across Atlanta.

However, barriers still exist. Low landfill costs often reduce the incentive to recycle, while gaps in collection infrastructure and limited public awareness hinder progress. We’re tackling these challenges by advocating for smarter policies, expanding educational outreach, and working with local stakeholders to strengthen recycling infrastructure.

How You Can Get Involved

A greener Atlanta starts with all of us. Whether you’re a homeowner, business leader, or community advocate, your efforts can create a lasting impact. Together, we can reduce waste, conserve resources, and make our city a model for sustainability.

Go for the Green. Recycle with Atlanta Recycles.🌿
