The cost of recycling has increased approximately 58% since 2020, putting a strain on the city budget.  The City Council considered all options during budget planning for fiscal year 2022 (summer 2021) and made the decision to move to a biweekly schedule in order to continue to provide this service, which is important to our residents, in the most cost-effective manner.

Lawrenceville Sanitation provides a 16 gallon recycling container. The City does not provide larger bins with wheels.

All customers recycle at different levels. Research has shown that those who are not heavy recyclers may utilize the larger recycling container as an extra trash can. The end result is contaminated recycling, which defeats the purpose of recycling.  

Any residential customer with a damaged recycling bin can receive a replacement bin by contacting Customer Service by Phone: 678-407-6675 or email Customer Service. The new bin will be delivered to your residence during regular recycling scheduled routes.
