Roswell offers weekly single-stream recycling using a separate city-provided cart. Accepted materials include paper, cardboard, glass, metal cans, and plastics #1-#7. Recycling must be in the city cart - bagged recyclables go to landfill.
Roswell's single-stream program accepts: paper (newspaper, magazines, junk mail), corrugated cardboard (broken down), glass bottles and jars, aluminum and steel cans, and plastic containers #1 through #7 (bottles, jugs, tubs). Pizza boxes are accepted if grease-free; plastic bags, styrofoam, and electronics are not accepted curbside. The Roswell Recycling Center on Hembree Road accepts additional materials including electronics, batteries, paint, and household hazardous waste during scheduled hours. Recycling in plastic garbage bags is treated as contamination and sent to landfill.
Persistent contamination (plastic bags, food waste, non-recyclables) can result in the recycling cart being tagged and the resident charged a contamination fee. Repeat issues can lead to revocation of recycling service for the address.
