Recycling in Doraville: A Local Guide
Doraville, Georgia — a DeKalb County city of about 10,000 northwest of Atlanta — is home to two commercial construction and demolition (C&D) recycling operations but no municipal drop-off center for household recyclables. Knowing the difference between these facilities prevents wasted trips.
Metro Green Recycling at 4351 Pleasantdale Rd NW is Doraville's largest C&D recycler, accepting concrete, wood, metal, drywall, cardboard, carpet, asphalt shingles, and mixed demolition debris from contractors and homeowners undertaking renovations. The facility operates Monday through Thursday 6:30 AM–5:00 PM and Friday 6:30 AM–4:00 PM; Saturday is by appointment only. Household garbage, tires, batteries, hazardous materials, electronics, and appliances are not accepted. Processed materials — recycled concrete aggregates, wood mulch, and fill dirt — are also sold to the public from this site.
About 1.5 miles away, the Doraville Transfer Station operated by Waste Management at 2784 Woodwin Rd is a C&D transfer station serving commercial haulers and contractors. It is open Monday through Saturday 6:00 AM–4:00 PM and closed Sundays. Like Metro Green, it does not accept household waste, tires, batteries, or hazardous materials. Safety equipment (hard hat and vest) is required on site.
For everyday residential recycling — bottles, cans, paper, plastics — Doraville residents rely on DeKalb County's curbside single-stream recycling program. The county also runs periodic e-waste and household hazardous waste (HHW) collection events for electronics and chemicals; check dekalbcountyga.gov for the current schedule. Nearby recycling resources in the Atlanta area include additional drop-off options for specific materials like paint, batteries, and textiles.
