City of Lithonia Celebrates America Recycles Day with New Recycling Center & Farmers' Market

Joining thousands of organizers holding events across the country to celebrate, the launch of the recycling center and farmers’ market will be a first of its kind in Georgia. America Recycles Day is a nationally recognized day dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States.

The recycling center and farmers’ market provides and opportunity to assist in the city’s sustainability initiative and connect residents and visitors alike with local growers by bringing foot traffic into the district in a centralized location. Residents will be able to recycle paper, glass, cardboard, metal (aluminum and bi-metal cans), and plastics. Residents are also encouraged to recycle household textiles such as gently used clothes, shoes, and toys.

In addition to recycling, residents will be able to connect with local farmers and specialty vendors to shop the market for fresh fruits, vegetables, and crafts. Live music and some of the best food trucks from the Atlanta Street Food Coalition will also be on hand.
