9/11 Day of Service/Recycle Saturday, Sept. 10

From 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 10, the Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation and Solid Waste and Recovered Materials Divisions will host a 9/11 Day of Service and Recycling Event.

During this time, volunteers will paint a mural and install landscaping at the Rhodes Jordan Park Community Recreation Center. Residents also will have the opportunity to take their electronics, tires and paper for recycling.

Electronics can be recycled for free, but the cost of paper shredding is $5 a box and there is a $10 fee for TVs. There also is no charge for tires, but there is a limit of eight per vehicle. Payment must be in cash and the service is not open to businesses.

Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation and Solid Waste and Recovered Materials Division are teaming up with Shred Green, Atlanta Recycling Solutions, Waste Pro and Republic Services to offer this opportunity to residents. It will take place at Rhodes Jordan Park Community Recreation Center at 100 East Crogan St. in Lawrenceville.
