Recycling & Disposal in Cobb County
Where your debris goes after pickup and how to divert more of it from the landfill.
What happens after pickup
When we haul your container away from a Smyrna job site, the load goes to one of several licensed facilities in the metro area depending on what it contains. Mixed debris heads to a transfer station or construction and demolition landfill. Sorted loads go to processors that recycle them.
Materials we recycle
- Clean concrete, brick and block: crushed into road base and aggregate
- Scrap metal: separated and sold to recyclers
- Clean wood: ground into mulch, boiler fuel or engineered wood products
- Yard waste: composted or mulched
- Asphalt shingles: ground for use in hot-mix paving when a processor is accepting
- Cardboard: baled when delivered as a clean load
How to increase recycling on your project
Separating streams is the single most effective step. On a larger construction site, dedicated containers for concrete, metal and clean wood can cut disposal costs and divert well over half the debris from landfill. On residential projects, simply keeping yard waste and concrete out of the mixed container helps.
