CHaRM in Atlanta and DeKalb accepts many household chemicals and paints; details are at https://towndumps.com/ga/atlanta-ga-charm-centers-for-hard-to-recycle-materials. Medications are directed to Medication Take Back Day, and appliances and electronics to Community Recycling Events, on the official HHW event page.
- The official event page still says the next event will take place October 17, 2026. That wording is out of date as of this check. No 2027 date was found on the official event pages or events search.
