The recycle center will be operating normal schedule Monday 2/2/26! We want you to be extremely careful when dropping items but especially when using our weight scales as it is slick when wet! Reminder to our dumpster customers areas around the dumpers are icy and slick we will be emptying them as soon as we can safely do so. Please do not block dumpsters! Now fingers crossed the groundhog doesn't see his shadow tomorrow!

The recycle center will remain closed to customers Friday 1/30. We will be attempting to provide limited pick up services to several drop off areas during this time. We would like to remind customers to not stack items over the top, beside, or in front of dumpsters. Dumpsters that are blocked or deemed unsafe for our drivers will NOT be serviced. Please have patience with our team and we continue the clean up efforts from this winter storm.

The QRP will remain closed Wed. 1/28/26 to allow post additional time for snow removal. Blue cardboard dumpsters are located at the PX, shopettes, and at several community centers for use 24/7. Please break down boxes to best utilize their space. Do NOT over stack dumpsters or put cardboard on the ground as this only slows down the clean up process and creates hazards for our staff and the public. Thank you for your understanding!

Along with installation guidance the Recycling Center will remain CLOSED thru Tuesday. Please remember to break down your boxes when using the cardboard dumpsters to make the most of the room available. Stay safe and warm!

Help rid your home and storage by recycling out-of-date, broken or unused E-scrap.
This is a FREE event and for Hardin County residents only.
The full list of what is accepted is below.
Just think of how many lightbulbs and batteries you throw away each year.
Look in your garage, basement, storage unit and other places for electronics you'll never use again. Do you any idea how many huge console TVs we take in each year at these? What about those massive projection TVs from 30 years ago?
Keep these items out of the landfill and help with this recycling effort.
