The Lindsay Group, including Mr. Jim Neu, Walter Killings, and Jerome Taylor were instrumental in helping to organize, carry out and assist citizens with shredding 8,200 pounds of unwanted documents!! Nearly 4 times the amount from last year's event! Most of all, we thank the concerned citizens of Walton County for their help and interest in recycling and keeping a clean and beautiful Walton County! Keep it up.Walton! We salute our Walton County Schools for making our paper recycling efforts a huge success! Thanks to them a total of 137,193 pounds of paper was collected and kept out of area landfills. First Place goes to Loganville High School for collecting 4,876.5 lbs. Second Place is awarded to Carver Middle School for 4,273.5 lbs. Third Place belongs to Loganville Christian Academy for a close 4,232.5 lbs. Congratulations to the winners and a hearty Thank You to all schools participating in this valuable project!!

We will be partnering with Lindsay Document Destruction, Carmichael Drugs, BB&T, Caruthers Mill Landfill and Walton C & D Landfill to offer free document shredding to the public. You might want to consider bringing the following documents for destruction: old bank information, credit card information, bills, old tax records, insurance information, legal papers and medical records. Look for updates on our Facebook page! Up to two bankers box size files will be shredded at no charge. Additional boxes can be shredded at a charge of $5.00 per box.
KWB's volunteer meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 7, 2013 here, at the Recycling Center. Please bring a friend, and your lunch, and join us! We'll meet at 12:00pm, for about an hour. We'd love to see you there! Call the office with any questions!
Please Note: Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are no longer able to accept tires with the wheels attached. We can ONLY accept tires without the wheels. Thank you for your cooperation and we apologize for any inconvenience. We are now accepting COOKING OIL! There is a large collection barrel where the Stop-N-Swap used to be. Call us for more details. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY We will be inspecting loads randomly prior to dumping to insure proper disposal practices at this facility. No citizen is to dump directly into our roll-off containers. All loads must be unloaded onto the concrete pad. Anyone caught slipping in paint or other chemicals/hazardous waste may be banned from using this facility.
