Recycling in Lawrenceville: A Local Guide
Lawrenceville, the Gwinnett County seat, has two waste and recycling facilities on Seaboard Industrial Drive — but they serve very different purposes. SA Recycling at 530 Seaboard Industrial Drive is a full-service scrap metal yard open to the public. It buys copper, aluminum, brass, steel, iron, lead, zinc, and nickel from individuals and businesses, and also accepts end-of-life vehicles, large appliances, small electronics, auto batteries, and radiators. No appointment is needed for typical public drop-offs.
GFL Gwinnett Transfer Station at 535B Seaboard Industrial Drive is a commercial waste transfer facility operated by GFL Environmental. It handles municipal solid waste and construction and demolition debris for licensed haulers and contractors — it is not a drop-off point for Gwinnett County residents seeking to recycle household materials. Residents should call Gwinnett County's Solid Waste Management division at 770-822-7141 for residential recycling and drop-off locations.
SA Recycling's Lawrenceville yard offers roll-off container service and contractor pricing for businesses managing demolition or construction scrap. Their hours are Mon–Fri 8 AM–4 PM and Saturday 8 AM–11:30 AM. Materials explicitly not accepted include oil, fuel, antifreeze, asbestos, propane tanks, closed containers, and ammunition.
Other Gwinnett County and nearby Georgia cities with recycling resources include Duluth, Buford, Snellville, and communities throughout Georgia.
