Keeping Georgia Clean
Recycling is of major importance to Atlanta and other communities throughout the state with a number of public and private programs under way. Many cities, counties and communities have implemented collection programs and sites for recyclable materials. The City of Atlanta provides curbside recycling to more than 87,000 family residences in the city. There are a number of Clean and Beautiful agencies in the Atlanta area that can provide information on recycling and locations of recycling centers.

Georgia Roadside
As the world comes to see Atlanta we need to ensure that the visitors who come to Atlanta leave here saying how beautiful the south was. To achieve this we all need to pull together and volunteer for community cleanups. With the amount of public services located in Atlanta, it should be quite simple to find a program that fits your effort in helping Atlanta put on it's best face.
