Recycling in Lithonia: A Local Guide
Lithonia, in DeKalb County east of Atlanta, has two recycling facilities that serve very specific material streams — neither accepts the full range of household recyclables, so residents dealing with everyday paper, plastic, and glass should contact DeKalb County Sanitation or check earth911.com for curbside or transfer-station options.
Radius Recycling — operating as Encore Recycling at 6781 Chapman Rd — is the largest and most public-accessible site. As a scrap metal buyer and processor (part of the national Radius Recycling network, formerly Schnitzer Steel), it pays cash for copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, radiators, auto parts, and appliances. The yard runs a wire processing line for copper and aluminum and handles both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Hours are Monday through Friday 8 AM to 4:30 PM; the facility is closed weekends. Bring materials during business hours for a cash transaction — this is a buyer, not a free drop-off.
All Things Recycled focuses on construction and demolition (C&D) debris recycling and junk removal. The company's approach is to recover and repurpose demolition waste into green building products, keeping materials out of the landfill. This is not a drop-off point for household items. Multiple directories list different addresses for this business — call (470) 343-1573 to confirm the current service location before arriving.
For general household recycling of paper, plastic, glass, and electronics in the Lithonia and Stone Mountain corridor, DeKalb County's recycling drop-off sites and Take It Back Network locations are the primary resources. Nearby cities with additional options include Stone Mountain, Conyers, Decatur, and other communities across Georgia.
