Keep Cobb Beautiful’s recycling event gives residents a convenient place to recycle unwanted items and have paper securely shredded. Staff and volunteers will be on site to direct vehicles through the Jim R. Miller Park parking lot and help unload materials.
Recycling and Donations
Participants can bring electronics, metals, textiles, sneakers, books, and paper for shredding. Select plastics are also collected through the Hefty ReNew™ program.
Donations of clean clothing, shoes, accessories, and household items go to America’s Thrift Stores and benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
Event Details
The event is open to Cobb County residents. Participants are asked to register online for a recommended arrival time to help manage traffic.

The Register Online link here isn’t working for me. I found a link on the cobbcounty.org page for the event. That page is here: https://www.cobbcounty.org/keep-cobb-beautiful/recycling/community-recycling-events
The Register Online link isn’t working for me. Anyone else have this problem? I get that the document isn’t found.
Can I volunteer?
