Recycling is voluntary in Coweta County. Georgia has no residential recycling mandate. The county takes recyclables free of charge, separated from garbage, at its compactor sites and transfer station with proof of residency.
No state or county law requires households to recycle. Instead, Coweta County accepts recyclables free at its compactor sites and transfer station, so long as they are delivered separate from waste and the resident shows proof of residency. Accepted materials include glass food and drink containers, aluminum and steel cans, newspaper and mixed paper, cardboard, and plastic bottles marked #1 through #7. Note the difference by jurisdiction: the county takes glass, but Newnan's curbside recycling through Amwaste does not. Recyclers still pay standard fees for non-recyclable trash brought in the same trip.
There is no penalty for choosing not to recycle. Recyclables mixed into general waste are simply charged and disposed of as trash rather than diverted free of charge.
