Snellville residents are being asked to remember that effective July 1, glass is no longer allowed in curbside recycling containers.
Please make sure you don't include glass as the drop off sites for co-mingle recycling haulers will not accept glass and will deny them access if found.
We encourage you to bring your glass to the Snellville Recycling Center located in Briscoe Park. Our center is open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
There is also a junk container for miscellaneous household items and a yard waste drop off site for city limit residents.
One pickup truck size load per day for junk and one for yard waste is free.
