ACC CHaRM - Center for Hard to Recycle Materials - Athens, Georgia

This is a great resource. Not only do you have a place to properly dispose of all sorts of toxic or otherwise complicated materials at a reasonable cost, the staff here could give seminars nationwide on how to give great service with a smile. I've never had a bad experience while bringing in all sorts of nasty things,; they just roll with whatever you have (unless it requires specialty disposal).

Absolutely five stars!

Charm is an amazing athens resource. The folks who work there are incredible public servants. They do a great job and are super helpful. I am so thankful for them!

Every community should have access to a place like this to properly dispose items. The staff is great too!

Since metro Atlanta curbside recycling does not accept glass, I was excited to find that CHaRM will take them. Had been to a few recycling centers/kiosks in California where there is CRV incentive, but they are usually quite grimy, smelly and dirty. In Atlanta there isn’t that cashback, so I was even more than impressed with CHaRM for so many reasons: (1) the center is so organized, clean, and informative with everything clearly labeled so that you feel like you’re learning something (there were 3 bins just for glass! Clear, green and amber. With banners telling you why they sort this way and what they do with the glass collected!). (2) they accept and recycle nearly every type of material you can imagine, from many kinds of plastic including plastic bags, aluminum, to styrofoam, to mattresses, to paint, and electronics to chemicals (3) the staff is super friendly and helpful, no judgment when you’re not sure which bin something should go to, just directs you to the right place (4) open til 3pm on Saturdays, so that non-morning people like me can still make it in (5) lets you feel good about doing your part to save the our planet, and on a Saturday it was buzzing with dozens of other citizens also doing their part! Love that community of like minded people! Will definitely be back often!!

Had some fertilizer and other chemicals, tires on wheels, and some pallets I needed gone and didn't want to throw in my garbage. Really nice and helpful employees. A great, straightforward service that is decently priced for locals and for people not living in the county.

$3/tire plus $3 fee if you are Clarke county resident. $8 fee if you are out of county
