INDIANAPOLIS — A new community recycling drop-off site has been placed at the Julia M. Carson Government Center and Center Township Trustee’s Office at 300 E. Fall Creek Parkway N Dr.
Residents are reminded that drop-off locations across the city are for disposing of recyclable materials only. All materials must be loose, clean, and dry and all cardboard boxes must be flattened before placing in a recycling bin. Bagged recyclables cannot be processed as plastic bags get caught in machines and put employees at risk of potential hazards during the sorting process. The following materials are accepted at the community drop-off recycling sites free of charge:
• All colors of glass
• #1 and #2 plastic bottles and jugs (no Styrofoam, plastic bags, or plastic film)
• Aluminum, tin, and steel beverage and food cans
• Newspapers, broken down cardboard boxes, paper, and magazines
Household hazardous waste and most electronics can be recycled at one of the City’s ToxDrop locations. Electronics can also be recycled at RecycleForce’s new headquarters at 816 N. Sherman Drive during their regular weekday hours. Additional local recycling information, including information on the City’s goals and how to subscribe for biweekly curbside recycling pickup, can be found at indy.gov/recycle.
