In light of the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on the current budget, the City of Dunwoody will not be able to host a household hazardous waste recycling event or electronics recycling event in 2020. Please know that we remain committed to bringing them back in the future when the budget picture improves. In the meantime, the DeKalb County Sanitation Division has shared these options:
