Recycle Using Your Old Trash Cart
Gwinnett County's recycling program gives residents an opportunity to recycle more items than ever before so residents are encouraged to recycle as much as they can to help reduce the volume of solid waste going into our landfills. If you find it hard to fit everything into the recycling bin provided by your hauler, remember that you can use additional bins, including your old 95-gallon trash cart, for recycling. Just make sure your bins are clearly marked "RECYCLABLES".
To find out which items can be recycled curbside and for more recycling tips, visit www.sustainablegwinnett.com. You can also find a directory for locations that will take recyclables that are not collected curbside, such as plastic bags, batteries, and compact flourescent light bulbs.
Police Report Options Have Changed
Police reports may be obtained in person at Gwinnett County Police Headquarters. While reports are no longer available at police precincts, citizens have the convenience of obtaining reports online.
Copies of police reports are available in person at Police headquarters located at 770 High Hope Road in Lawrenceville from 8:00am - 4:30pm, Monday - Friday. There is a charge of $0.25 per page for incident reports and a flat $5 charge for accident reports. Copies may also be requested by mail to:Gwinnett County Police Department, Attn: Records, P.O.Box 602, Lawrenceville, GA 30046 (must include case number;name,$3 for incident reports or $5 for accident reports payable by cashier's check to Gwinnett County Police, and a self-addressed stamped envelope). In addition, the department has many options for citizens to file and obtain a police report online. Citizens can access and purchase copies of vehicle collision reports 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at www.buycrash.com, an online service provided by the Gwinnett County Police Department, Open Portal Solutions, and Georgia DOT.
Citizens may also file certain incidents without having to wait for an officer's response using an online police reporting system. Residents will be able to print a temporary copy of the report immediately after submitting the report. The report will then be viewed by police personnel and once approved, the filing person will receive an e-mail with a free copy of the report attached. The report will transfer into the department's records managment system and will be investigated the same as of the report had been filed by an officer.
