Join the Global Paint for Charity at Gwinnett County Fairgrounds Parking Lot on Saturday, November 2nd, 2024, from 9am-Noon, to celebrate our 13th annual America Recycles Day (ARD) at 2405 Sugarloaf Pkwy, Lawrenceville, GA.

Gwinnett County residents can drop off items that are typically more difficult to recycle, such as latex, oil-based paint, electronics, and tires. The event aims to keep the county beautiful and sustainable, with an expected attendance of 500-3,000 people and partner organizations. The goal is to recycle over 6,000 gallons of paint in just three hours.

If you have leftover or unused paint from home renovation projects, you can bring them for proper disposal and to support free paint donation programs worldwide.

Here are some important things to remember before you come:
- Oil-based and Latex paint will be accepted and limited to 10 gallons per vehicle
- Ensure the lid of the containers is tightly sealed
- Other accepted items include electronics, paper for shredding, and tires (up to eight per vehicle)
- All attendees should remain in their vehicles, and recycled items should be placed in disposable containers or boxes

For more information, please call the Solid Waste Call Center at 770.822.7141 or Global Paint for Charity at 855-853-7772.
