“America Recycles Day in Gwinnett is a great opportunity to celebrate the many ways we can recycle in Gwinnett,” said Connie Wiggins, executive director of Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful, in an announcement about America Reycles Day. “Since 1980, Gwinnettians have recycled enough materials to fill a convoy of tractor trailer trucks from Lawrenceville, GA, to Montreal, Canada. We look forward to doing more every day to make Gwinnett the greenest, cleanest place to live, work, play and learn in America.”

America Recycles Day is a national program of Keep America Beautiful and is the only nationally recognized day and community-driven awareness event dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States.
