Excitement fills the air as we celebrate the new Waste Transfer Station and Recycling Center in Douglas County! This cutting-edge facility, funded by SPLOST, proudly stands at 1730 County Services Road in Douglasville, ready to serve the community. Following the unfortunate fire that consumed the previous station in October 2023, this modern center opens up a world of sustainable waste management solutions. Effective immediately, residents can bring their recyclable materials such as mixed paper, plastic bottles, and cardboard to help keep our community clean. On December 22, commercial haulers will also be able to utilize the station, fostering collaboration towards a greener future. We're immensely grateful for the community's support through this transition, as we pave the way for enhanced environmental stewardship.

We’re pleased to share highlights from Tuesday’s ribbon cutting ceremony for Douglas County’s new Waste Transfer Station and Recycling Center located at 1730 County Services Road in Douglasville.

The state-of-the-art SPLOST-funded facility replaces the previous Transfer Station which was destroyed by fire in October 2023.

Effective immediately, recyclable materials such as mixed paper, plastic bottles and jugs, cardboard and more will be accepted at the recycling center.

The waste transfer station will officially open to residential and commercial haulers in county and out of county on Monday, December 22.

The hours of operation for both facilities are 8:00 a.m. 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

The following items will be accepted:
– household trash
– construction and demolition debris
– yard waste

We extend our gratitude to the community for their patience and support as our Public Works team worked to provide upgraded solutions for Douglas County’s waste management and recycling needs.
