Johns Creek sets collection day for bulky goods

Johns Creek has announced a Bulky Recycling Day for people seeking to recycle small furniture, home medical equipment and other hard-to-dispose-of items.

The collection is 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, in the Target/Home Depot parking lot, 5950 State Bridge Road. Participants are asked to wear a mask, keep a safe distance from workers, and be prepared to unload their vehicles with little or no assistance.
