Contact us to discuss the items you have for us. Upon approval, donations will be accepted at the Franklin Recycling Center located at the rear of the building. Please do not leave any donations outside office doors, as they will be treated as trash.



Adopt a County Road

The Johnson County Recycling District works with the Johnson County Highway Department and your service group or organization to keep our county roads litter free

The district provides bags, gloves, signs and safety vests to your clean-up crew (must be 14 years old to participate). The full bags can be left along the road and the Johnson County Highway Department will pick them up.

Your group will receive a sign placed along your roadway with your group’s name after your second cleanup.
