When we first moved into Brookhaven, it was slightly confusing at how to get started. First, check out their application. All DeKalb County single family residences that presently receive solid waste collection services (aka trash...) from DeKalb’s Sanitation Division are eligible to participate in this recycling program. So renters - hopefully your apartment or complex has their own center or if not, check out the different drop off centers in Dekalb.
The program requires a one-time $15 charge for the blue bin and a $15 charge for a box of blue bags (to separate our your plastics and paper. We are still working on our first box of bags...)
Once you submit your application and fee, they will drop off your bin and bags at your house (pretty convenient!). Recycling is picked up every Wednesday morning- try to make sure its out in front of your house by 8/9am. They have a small holiday schedule, and they don't pick up around Thanksgiving and New Years.If you are already a user of this program and need more blue bags- just visit their website.
We have been very happy with our service with this program and love helping to keep Dekalb green!
