Directions:  From the Law School, take a Left on Georgia Ave, straight on Mulberry to Martin Luther King Jr. Take a right on MLK.  Take a Left on Poplar St. (away from Downtown).  Go Under the Rail Road Tracks.  At the First Stop sign take a right.  Go down about 1/2 a mile and Macon Iron is on the right.  There is a black and white sign which says "Household Recycling".  If you dead end you went too far.  It looks similar to a big warehouse.  Go in the fenced area and the recycling receptacles are on the left in the back.  You cannot miss it. Enjoy!
