INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Department of Public Works (Indy DPW) has announced the removal of the community recycling drop-off site at Beck Service Center located at 6025 Madison Ave. Continuing to leave waste at this site will result in illegal dumping fines. The closest public drop-off recycling site to this address are the Kroger locations at 8130 E. Southport Road and 8745 S. Emerson Ave.
City staff will continue ongoing conversations to further expand recycling options, including a forthcoming structured drop-off recycling collaboration, for community members in Marion County, especially in the downtown, west side, and east side areas. Additional local recycling information, including information on the City’s goals to make solid waste options more accessible and convenient for all Marion County residents and how to subscribe for biweekly curbside recycling pickup, can be found at indy.gov/recycle.
Community members are reminded that drop-off locations across the city are for disposing of household recyclable materials only and commercial use of the sites is prohibited. The City appreciates the existing recycling site hosts in the program and the work required to maintain the properties. The City also appreciates those community members attempting to recycle correctly amidst others choosing to take advantage of the recycling sites as illegal dumping grounds. The future longevity of each drop-off site is contingent upon the public utilizing it for its intended purpose.
