Spring is in the air, which means it’s the perfect time to clear out items taking up precious space in your home.
Cobb County will help you achieve this task when it hosts a Community Recycling Day from 9 a.m to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 27 at Jim Miller Park at 2245 Callaway Road SW in Marietta.
You can recycle electronics such as computers, cell phones, gaming systems, hard drives and fax machines; household textiles such as shoes, clothing, purses, pillows, stuffed toys, sheets, towels, books, blankets and car seats; household appliances such as stoves, microwaves, ovens, washers and dryers, water heaters, blenders and toasters; and shred medical bills, bank and credit card statements, letters and personal documents.
This event is free to the public, but the county does charge $10 to recycle CRT televisions and monitors.
