Recycling Events
Spring Clean
Spring Clean is held the 1st and 2nd Saturdays in April, and offers customers free disposal of residential trash. Citizens are encouraged to bring household items they would like to dispose of to the drop off site located in the City of Thomasville Engineering Parking lot at 411 West Jackson Street. Solid Waste staff will unload your items (No contractors please). The following items are accepted: beds, furniture, stoves, chairs, electric and non-electric appliances and other bulky items (brown and white goods). We ask that you please do not bring roofing materials, oil-based products, liquids, tires, trees or shrubs to the Spring Clean events.
Bring One for the Chipper - Christmas Tree Recycling
Christmas Tree Recycling is held in conjunction with the Department of Community Affair’s Keep Georgia Beautiful “Bring One for the Chipper” program. The event date varies each year, but is usually the 1st or 2nd Saturday in January. You can support the Chipper program by bringing your undecorated, cut Christmas tree to the West Remington Recycling Center. The mulch from these trees is used for playgrounds, local government beautification projects, and individual yards. As a gift for recycling your Christmas tree, seedlings are distributed while supplies last.
