The DeKalb County Sanitation Division will host a series of recycling roll cart exchange events throughout the county, according a press release from the county.

Starting March 24, subscribers will have the opportunity to complete the exchange process by trading in their 18-gallon recycling bin for a complimentary 35-gallon recycling roll cart, or upgrading to a 65-gallon recycling cart for a one-time $15 prepaid fee. Existing recycling subscribers should trade in 18-gallon bins by Dec. 28

A limited number of roll carts will be available at each event and new subscriptions can also be processed. All event participants are required to complete a recycling subscription form, which can be obtained by visiting www.dekalbsanitation.com.
