Athens disposal programs

Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.

Bulky pickup in Athens

Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.

Official source:

Athens mattresss go to the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials at 1005 College Avenue or the ACC Landfill at 5700 Lexington Road in Winterville. CHaRM charges a published $3 per trip facility fee for Athens-Clarke County residents ($8 outside the county) plus per-item fees on mattresses and similar materials; payment is check or credit card only, no cash.

HHW in Athens

Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.

Official source:

Take motor oil to CHaRM at 1005 College Avenue, the permanent Athens-Clarke County hard-to-recycle and household hazardous waste site. The published facility fee is $3 per trip for county residents and $8 for others; commercial loads require an appointment with the HHW supervisor at 706-296-7832.

E-waste in Athens

TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.

Official source:

Athens electronics including e waste mixed go to CHaRM at 1005 College Avenue. The published $3 per-trip resident facility fee applies plus per-item electronics fees; no appointment is needed. Wipe your data before drop-off.

Yard & organics in Athens

Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.

Official source:

Athens-Clarke yard waste is collected curbside on your service day, and larger volumes can go to the ACC Landfill on Lexington Road.

Recycling & film in Athens

Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.

Official source:

Athens recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. Athens-Clarke County — Landfill is the official Athens program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
