Thousands more recycling in DeKalb

By April Hunt

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

DeKalb County saw 4,000 new residents sign up for recycling in the first month after County Commissioners voted to make the service free.

After eliminating the $30 start-up fee, more than 4,000 residents joined the service since it became free on Sept. 26. That’s the equivalent of about 2.5 percent more customers, added to the 21 percent who had been recycling.

More information/to sign up: 404-294-2900 or www.dekalbrecycles.com.
