Update as of July 2024: No longer accepts Glass Plastic and Food Cans (but does accept drink cans cardboard metal paper/magazines/books electronics but not monitors/TV's) Plastic (and cardboard) is accepted at Rainbow City Recycling Center but the plastic must be bagged. The street behind the Public Library. (Rainbow Drive ->Lister Ferry Rd. ->Bland St.) You can't miss it. I have yet to find a home for food cans and glass.

perhaps u should update info re recycling as the center was closed Saturday morning and we had a loaded vehicle...unassisted is supposed to be 24/7...we have not been back. update...we r going to Albertville to recycle...much better operation there! I know it is not convenient for everyone...but it seems that some of our 10% sales tax should go for something better in Gadsden instead of cutting down trees for no reason...but that's another story!!
