INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Department of Public Works (Indy DPW) recently announced the removal of the community recycling drop-off site at the former location of John Marshall Community High School, 10101 E. 38th St. Continuing to leave waste at this site will result in illegal dumping fines. The closest public drop-off recycling site to this address is at the Kroger located at 11101 Pendleton Pike.
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. Recycled materials include 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.
