Keep Carroll Beautiful is hosting a FREE 2-in-1 Recycling Event designed to help residents safely dispose of hard-to-recycle items on May 17 at Midway Church in Villa Rica. The event focuses on two key areas: Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection and secure paper shredding, helping the community reduce clutter, prevent pollution, and protect personal information.

Residents can drop off items such as paint, automotive fluids, household pesticides, solvent-based products, and items containing mercury.
