Going Green: What does it mean?

Going Green means making lifestyle choices to protect the environment. This entails recycling or reusing materials and reducing energy use, such as using less water or turning off lights when they're not in use.  The City of Valdosta encourages residents to reduce, reuse, and recycle.   City residents can now drop off  recyclables ONLY at the following locations:

• FIVE POINTS SHOPPING CENTER

• CITY LOT ON HILL AVENUE (1025 W HILL AVENUE) -- (Temporarily Closed)

• CITY LOT AT CORNER OF SOUTH LEE STREET AND EAST SAVANNAH AVENUE -- (Temporarily Closed)

 We ask that containers be rinsed out and cardboard be broken down prior to dropping them off.  

• Make sure your recyclable materials are clean, dry, and empty.

• Break down any cardboard boxes.

• If it's not on the list, it is a non-recyclable item and should not be placed in the trailers.
