I separate my household garbage, cardboard, newspapers, plastic bottles, etc. What does Hall County do with these items, and do they get any more for it? Hall County recycles the majority of those items at the Recycling Center in Gainesville, according to Johnnie Vickers, solid waste director for the county. All recycled material is sold to various vendors throughout the Southeast U.S. In 2013, the county made $442,154 from the sale of 5,244 tons of recyclables.
