Hours change for recycling center next month

The Cherokee County Recycling Center will change its operating hours, starting Jan. 2.

At 470 Blaylock Road, Canton, the center will open an hour earlier on Tuesdays through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and close earlier on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon.

“After reviewing the data and tracking our customers’ drop-off times, we decided to modify our operating hours,” said Cherokee County Recycling Center Manager Troy Brazie.

“The updated operating times will allow us to better serve our customers,” Brazie said.

Operating hours at the Woodstock drop-off location at 6688 Bells Ferry Road inside Hobgood Park will remain unchanged - from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day.
