Recycling in Tucker: A Local Guide
Tucker, GA has two recycling facilities on its namesake industrial strip along Montreal Industrial Way and Montreal Cir — but both skew commercial, so understanding what each one does (and doesn't) serve is the key to not wasting a trip. WestRock Recycling at 3434 Montreal Industrial Way (formerly Rock-Tenn Recycling) is a commercial fiber materials recovery facility that processes cardboard and paper. Individual drop-offs are accepted Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM — go to the dead-end road, drive around the back of the building, pull onto the scale, and check in at the office. Phone: (770) 939-1775.
Georgia Recycling Solutions LLC at 1800 Montreal Cir specializes in Styrofoam (EPS), corrugated cardboard, and plastics, but serves manufacturers and distribution centers only — it is not a public drop-off. The company offers scheduled pickups, equipment rental (balers and compactors), material rebates, and sustainability audits for Atlanta-area businesses. Residential recyclers should not make the trip to GRS.
For general household recycling in Tucker, the best public option is the DeKalb County Recycling Center at 5234 LaVista Rd, Tucker, GA 30084, which accepts mixed recyclables for residents. DeKalb County also periodically holds electronics and household hazardous waste collection events — check dekalbcountyga.gov for dates. Tucker is bordered by Decatur, Doraville, and Dunwoody, all of which have additional DeKalb County recycling resources.
One practical note for Tucker residents: if your goal is to recycle cardboard and paper from a home renovation or business, WestRock on Montreal Industrial Way is your most direct option. If you have Styrofoam packaging from a large shipment, call Georgia Recycling Solutions at (678) 205-8111 to ask whether they can accommodate a one-time drop — their standard model is scheduled commercial pickup, but it's worth a call.
