County partnership sets recycling event for hazardous waste FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Nonprofit organization Keep Forsyth County Beautiful is partnering with the Forsyth County Department of Recycling & Solid Waste and the City of Cumming to hold an event for Household Hazardous Waste Recycling and Disposal. Residents are encouraged to participate Saturday, November 2 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Cumming Fairgrounds’ parking lot 3 at 235 Castleberry Road, stationed across from the Fairgrounds at the Castleberry Bridge. Pre-registration will be required in order to partake, opening October 14 on a first come, first served basis until the maximum number of materials or vehicles are registered. Forsyth County Environmental Program Manager Tammy Keaton said “things we use every day, such as cleaning supplies and paint, can be hazardous not only to people but to the environment if not disposed of properly, I believe most people want to do the right thing, and we are so proud to be able to offer this affordable, convenient service to the community.” The suggested donation is $5 to support Keep Forsyth County Beautiful, but it is free to drop off corrosive, ignitable, toxic, and/ or reactive household hazardous waste. The event will not be able to accept non-hazardous waste, medical waste, pharmaceuticals, needles, ammunition, or explosives.
