Recycling in Conyers: A Local Guide
Conyers, the seat of Rockdale County, Georgia, has four distinct recycling operations serving different needs. The flagship public resource is the Rockdale County Recycling Center at 1200 Sigman Rd NE — a county-run facility open Tuesday through Saturday that accepts plastics, cardboard, glass, aluminum cans, tires, motor oil, and scrap metal. Standard recyclables are free; an annual hangtag ($150, or $100 for seniors) is required only for trash, bulk waste, and tree debris. Rockdale County residents must show a valid Georgia ID — commercial customers are not permitted.
For residents looking to sell scrap metal, SA Recycling at 2314 Dogwood Dr SE and Allied Recycling & Transportation at 2495 Covington Hwy are both full-service public yards. SA Recycling — part of a national chain — pays for ferrous metals, copper, aluminum, auto batteries, radiators, and end-of-life vehicles; a government-issued photo ID is required for every transaction, and vehicles 2015 and newer need a valid title. Allied Recycling handles ferrous and non-ferrous metals plus C&D debris, Monday–Friday 8 AM–5 PM and Saturday 8 AM–3 PM.
A-1 Tire Recycling at 2251 Country Club Dr SE was a dedicated tire recycler, but its operating status is uncertain as of late 2026 — multiple directories list it as closed. If you need to recycle tires in Conyers, the Rockdale County Recycling Center accepts up to four off-rim tires per household per week at no cost, no hangtag required.
Conyers is well-positioned within greater Atlanta's recycling network. Neighboring cities with additional facilities include Covington, Lithonia, and Lawrenceville. For a broader view of Georgia recycling centers by city, explore the statewide directory.
