LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - eTradeWire -- Commemorated annually on November 15 by millions across the nation, America Recycles Day is a Keep America Beautiful (KAB) initiative that promotes recycling and encourages communities to pledge to reduce, reuse, and recycle. For Georgia's Gwinnett County leg of the celebration, KAB affiliate – Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful (GC&B)  – will partner with Gwinnett County Solid Waste Management to host an America Recycles Day event at Gwinnett County Fairgrounds on Saturday, November 8. Between 9 a.m. and noon, residents are invited to drop off select hard-to-recycle items that are not accepted curbside.

"While you'll find Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful out and about in the community throughout November and December, America Recycles Day always marks one of our final major events of the year," said Schelly Marlatt, Executive Director of the eco-focused nonprofit. "And it's fitting! Although we are focused year-round on community cleanup and beautification projects, environmental education through Gwinnett County Public Schools, promotion of sustainable practices, and monitoring of our local water sources through Adopt-A-Stream, conveying the importance of recycling remains a foundational element of our organization. In November 2024 alone, Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful and our fellow Keep America Beautiful affiliates collected 2.4 million pounds of recyclables."

She indicated that volunteering for community events is best suited for families with children aged 16+ and groups – like churches, companies, neighborhoods, civic organizations, and schools.
