Recycling in Acworth: A Local Guide
Acworth residents in Cobb County have a convenient free recycling option operated by Keep Cobb Beautiful: the Recycle Drop Spot at Fire Station 28, 3858 Kemp Ridge Rd. The bins are accessible around the clock, seven days a week, with no residency card, sticker, or fee required. A hauler services the bins on Tuesdays and Fridays. The drop spot accepts the basics — paper (newspapers, magazines, junk mail, books), clean plastics #1–#7, aluminum and steel cans, cartons, and flattened cardboard — but not glass, electronics, yard waste, Styrofoam, grocery bags, tires, propane tanks, or hazardous materials.
A second recycling location appears in public records at 4220–4230 Industrial Center Ln NW, but no official website, phone number, or verified hours could be confirmed from primary sources. If you plan to visit, call ahead or treat the Kemp Ridge drop spot as your reliable alternative.
For materials that the Kemp Ridge bins cannot handle — electronics, paint, household hazardous waste, glass, or large appliances — the main Cobb County drop-off facility is at WestRock, 1775 County Services Pkwy, Marietta, open Monday through Friday. Keep Cobb Beautiful also organizes periodic e-waste and household hazardous waste collection events; check cobbcounty.gov/keep-cobb-beautiful for the schedule.
Acworth sits in the northwest corner of Cobb County, close to the Cherokee County line. Residents who want additional recycling options will find facilities in nearby Kennesaw and the county seat of Marietta, both of which have more comprehensive recycling and HHW resources. Cherokee County has its own recycling programs for residents just north of the county line.
