What clients say about Recycling the Past LLC in East Newnan (GA)
Purchased a beautiful 1930's painting (painted on cardboard and framed) for our art wall. The owner was very knowledgeable and extremely passionate, and we will definitely be returning for more soon!
Great antique store with a fantastic selection! The staff are friendly and helpful, and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend stopping by—you never know what treasures you’ll find.
This store has a little of everything and is very well laid out. On top of that, it feels like it's always changing and getting NEW items in!! The store feels huge and I didn't even get to make it to the upstairs part on a couple visits but have been up there now for even more great finds! So many antiques and just really neat stuff! It's totally worth stopping in! Plus the owner is so nice and helpful and will even haggle with you on prices, but truly, he's giving you even better deals than posted before you even have to try haggling!! There are homemade crocheted items that his granddaughter makes too! So cute!!
The gentleman who (presumably) owns this place is the sweetest man ever, he's super friendly and loves to chat about the collection of whatever you purchase. Everytime I come here there's something new and I've never had a bad experience. Definitely worth your while to check out. Even if you don't buy something, the whole place is beautifully laid out and has such a comforting atmosphere.
I love to come to this place. They have great stuff and the owner is very nice, friendly, and knowledgeable about the artifacts bring sold. However, everything is priced at retail. Don't expect bargains here. Definitely worth the time to visit
Fun antiques upstairs and down. A place to go if you're looking for furniture and glassware. We stopped in on the way to the airport and loved their selection. They only take cash, so plan for that.
Shop keeper was so nice and personable! You can spend hours in this shop- there’s so many interesting things to see and the pricing is more than fair! Cash only!
I came in looking for old film cameras and Billy was so kind and helpful. The shop is beautiful with so many interesting gems. A treasure hunter’s paradise! I came away with a Kodak no. 2 folding autographic and can’t wait to tinker with it.
This is a wonderful antique shop. If you can't find it here, it doesn't exist, lol. They have a very large selection of anything you can think of. We will be back.
Great selection, friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere. Definitely one of the best antique stores in Newnan by a large margin. Cannot recommend this shop enough.
I really enjoyed visiting this antique store and I am not a big fan of antique stores. I had something in particular in mind when I entered and I am not kidding when I tell you that I found exactly what was pictured in my head less than 20 seconds after entering. Thank you so much for a fine selection and wonderful customer service. I also found 2 beautiful vaseline glass bowls for my mom for Mother's Day.
I've driven by this place for years...& never knew the treasures that were hiding inside. So many antiques! From ceiling to the floor...in every corner. I don't think you could see everything in just one visit. That's why we'll be back. Oh...& I can't wait to bring Mom. ?
Brilliant little antique store. This is what antique stores should all be. Everything in here is actually old and that refreshing given how many antique stores are reselling stuff from Hobby Lobby nowadays. Prices vary but we picked up a gorgeous antique oval frame and the owner haggled a bit on price so we ended up buying it. Owner is extremely friendly and the building is beautiful.
Not only have I found many unique and sentimental objects here but the building itself is unique and beautiful, and the man who owns/runs it is the nicest man you'll ever meet!
Do make sure you bring cash! There is an atm directly across the street ?
This was a full store, but I found myself bothered at the end. There was a price on a pair of items that I verbally confirmed with the woman working the store. I thought the price was really reasonable, so I wanted to make sure the tag was correct. She confirmed the price I saw was correct and even discounted it more, which my husband heard her do.
But, when we went to purchase it, the price was higher on the receipt. Then we asked to see the price tag and it also had a different price... $100 higher. When we questioned her, she tried to say that she agreed to the higher price, which was false.
So, our guess is that she realized the price was probably too low and tried to change the tag to a higher price while we were still shopping around. The original tags were written in a lighter ink (such as pen), but the new tag she presented with the higher price looked written in thin marker... and also my husband thought the tag looked brand new. So, we walked away.
If she realized the price may have been too low, I would have rather she been honest. We may have paid a little more. But, I wouldn't trust this place now.
Take photos of the tags before purchasing!
This place is an antiquer's dream. There's so much glass work, teacups/full tea sets, glass bottles and figures and each is uniquely beautiful. There's bottles of old time medicine and tonics, old Life magazines (I looked through them hoping to find one my great grandpa shot the front cover for, A little boy playing marbles, but no luck this time), a navy jacket from I think WW2, different medals of honor and so much more cool stuff. I could talk all day about the stuff this place has.
I was in the market for my first typewriter (apparently they're making a comeback with authors, so I had to get one before they disappear lol) and there were two sitting upstairs. I got the one that looks more like the 'traditional' type that you first think of when you hear the word. It has a broken key but I'm hoping that with some help from YouTube I can fix it. Mr.Billy gave us a discount on it, even tho I was willing and prepared to pay full price. If I could give ten stars I would and we'll definitely be shopping here again
The absolutely kindest gentleman who owns the store. He’s very passionate about his shop and the prices here are fantastic not to mention he was willing to lower the price for the stuff we bought! Greatest antique store in Georgia!
I go antiquing a lot and this was by far the best antique store I’ve been to. They had so many things I haven’t seen in person or even heard of. I pick up a salt cellar (I think that’s right), it was the first salt shaker if you will. It’s a small crystal bowl, some were square, that the richer people could afford because salt was a commodity back in those days. I haven’t been able to do much research yet but it’s fascinating. I also got a pink breast cancer ribbon ring that fit me perfectly. The guy running the store was super nice and helpful. He didn’t hover and just let me shop and answered every question I had.
When you enter the front door there was a grand double staircase that I was fascinated with. It was gorgeous and fitting for a store like this. If I’m the area I will go back. I had more pics but that’s all they would let me post.
Old clothes, old teething rings, old wedding dresses, cool and odd things. If I’m the area you should definitely visit.
The best antique store in Newnan! The owner and his daughter are the nicest shopkeepers I’ve ever met. They went above and beyond in customer service. I bought three lovely pieces for my bedroom and will definitely be back often!
This is a true vintage and antique store. Not flea market stuff but the real deal. Large 2 story house with nice furniture pieces. From small items like jewelry all the way up to hutches, dressers etc. Excellent selection that was merchandised nicely and priced fairly. Well worth the stop.
We were in the market for a dinning room table and chairs. We had been to 5 furniture stores before we stopped in at Recycling the Past. We were met by Mr. Billy who showed us our table and helped us pick out the chairs. We are very pleased with him and his product. Just a note he doesn't take plastic just cash or check. While we were getting our dining room set a young man came in looking for a antique jewelry box for his girlfriend this young man did not have cash or check, Mr Billy allowed the young man to leave with the jewelry box and said to the him bring me by the money next time you're around.
One of my favorite shops We drove 1hr 30 minutes to get here.It was well worth the drive Such a great place remember to take your time and look at everything.I found anv 1850s dresser for my mother and one of the most beautiful little tables I have ever seen.My friend and I love this shop,I only wish I had unlimited funds.
This place is awesome!!! Had a wonderful selection, constantly changing, and the owner is professional, knowledgeable, polite, and on point! These are obviously my personal opinions... Let me know what you folks think! Hope this helps someone out there ???? these are high five emojis not praying hands stop using them wrong in your texts!!!
This was a very nice shop but I’m only giving it two stars because everything is crazy overpriced. Some of the stuff I already had at my home that I have bought in other antique places for less than half of what he was selling it for and right before I had gone into the store I was at another store in the Square and they had some of the same items for a third of the price and it was the same thing .
I had already been told that the prices are out rages but I decided to still go check it out but unfortunately they were very right..
Outstanding retail antiques outlet, run be Sweet friendly people. They have quite a large assortment of high quality items from the past.
Furniture, clothing, decor, appliances, kitchenware, tools, toys, oddities, electronics, and much more.
The parking is very limited, only room enough for about 5-6 cars. Limited open days. The building is great, it’s a labyrinth of rooms, each one with its own feel and corresponding merchandise. Retail pricing.
Great little antique store. Definitely a wide selection of just a lot of varying items. We came in pretty close to closing time and we did not feel rushed at all. Owners were super friendly, had a good laugh just talking to them. My wife found a super cool retro magazine holder. We'll definitely be back to check out their ever changing items.
