Media release from the Rome-Floyd Recycling Center:
The Rome-Floyd Recycling Center is excited to announce dates for 2025 Household Hazardous Waste and Electronics Collection Events at our facility on 412 Lavender Drive. In previous years, the Recycling Center hosted three electronics only events, and three HHW and electronics combined events for a total of six events. “We found that not accepting HHW at all events led to confusion among citizens,” said Floyd County Solid Waste Director Emma Wells. “In an effort to better serve our citizens, the Rome-Floyd Recycling Center will host four events in 2025 where both HHW and electronics are accepted.”
The Rome-Floyd Recycling Center invites you to attend our events in 2025 on February 8, May 10, August 9, and November 8, 2025.
These events are free for residents of Floyd County. Appointments are required and can be made online one month from the event, or over the phone at (706)291-5266, Monday through Thursday, beginning on the first business day of the event month.
HHW items typically collected at these events include liquids like used motor oil, paint, herbicides and pesticides.
Electronic items typically collected include computers, televisions, recorders, and most any peripheral-type equipment like printers and keyboards.
The Rome-Floyd Recycling Center has one final event in 2024 on November 9, 2024 for electronics items only. Please call 706-291-5266 with any questions or visit our website at www.floydcountyga.gov/recycling.
