You can recycle old cell phones, computers and other electronics at the Norcross Community Center from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. All items are free to recycle except for televisions, which require a $20 fee, and CRT(cathode ray tube) monitors, which require a $10 fee. These services are open to all.

Norcross city residents can also get rid of any non-hazardous waste, whether it be an old couch or a bag full of trash, at Norcross Public Works, 345 Lively Ave., from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Proof of city residency is required to participate.
