Baby Items Trash Most baby items are made from a mixed material, so they are not recyclable. If they are no longer usable, place them in the trash. Gently used items like toys and clothing can be donated. Visit Athens’ Material Reuse page for ideas. Bulky Item CollectionLarge toys or furniture may be collected as a bulky item. Please check with your city page for collection options (residential or commercial). Bulky Item collection options may vary depending on your city. To schedule a bulky item pickup place an order online or call Athens’ Customer Service Department at 888-336-6100.
