Hendricks County Solid Waste Management District

The District operates two 24-hour Recycling Drop-off Centers.  The centers are located in Lizton (map) and Coatesville (map). 

A State law prevents the District from locating Recylcing Drop-off Centers in geographical locations where curbside recycling is available through the private sector. 

Acceptable Items:
PAPER: Office paper, construction paper, newspaper, junk mail, magazines, catalogs, corrugated cardboard, telephone books, food boxes.
GLASS: Clear, brown and green glass that held food or beverages.
STEEL: Any food container--it is okay to leave the labels on...
ALUMINUM: Beverage containers only.
PLASTICS: Containers showing a #1 (PETE) or a #2 (HDPE), and added recently, #3 to #7, can be recycled.  Styrofoam is excluded.

Important Reminders:
*Staples, paper clips, and rubber bands should be removed from all paper.
*Cardboard should be broken down to conserve space in the bins.
*All food containers should be rinsed and lids removed.
*All recyclables should be loose in the recycling bins--no bagged materials.
*Plastic shopping bags cannot be recycled at the centers even though they show a #2 (HDPE). They can be recycled at Wal-Mart and some grocery stores.

The District operates two Yard Waste Recycling Centers for your convenience. Materials at these sites will become mulch and/or compost to be utilized again instead of becoming just another load of trash.
