Where Can I Recycle?

Search the Indiana recycling locations searchable database

Through this Web-based service, you can research recycling opportunities available in Indiana. The Indiana Recycling Locations searchable database also provides information on local composting and yard waste programs, as well as local household hazardous waste collection programs.

  1. Click the “Find Address” tool in the top right corner of the map to find a specific address. Type in the Address and the Zip Code and then click Find.
    • Or, use the magnifying glass tools in the top left corner of the map to zoom into your county. Click the magnifying glass with the plus and move the curser over your county. Click on your county. You may have to click the zoom button several times before the recycling sites appear.
  2. Once the map is zoomed in, green dots appear. The green dots represent the recycling opportunities in your area. Move the pointer over a dot to get information about the site.
  3. Then click the dots to see which materials are accepted for recycling at that site.

As with all web-based information services, it is important that you call the local program contact for up-to-date detailed information regarding any services noted on this site. If you know of a recycling service not referenced in the database or if there is a problem with this site, please e-mail: recycling at idem.IN.gov.

Contact your Local Solid Waste Management District

Solid Waste Management Districts (SWMDs) are your local authority on recycling, yard waste, and household hazardous waste in your area.

In 1990, SWMDs were formed as a new local government entity to manage solid waste in Indiana. Today there are 61 single-county districts and 7 multi-county districts in Indiana. These districts exist to proactively reduce the amount of waste going to final disposal (landfills and incinerators) through education, source reduction, reuse, and recycling. Every district operates in a slightly different manner, but all are: supervised by boards of locally elected officials, managed by professional staff, and work toward a common goal of reducing solid waste disposed of by residents and businesses in Indiana.
