Q: When will the recycling center be open?
A: The center is open the following days and hours:
- Tuesday 9 AM – 6 PM
- Wednesday 1 PM – 7 PM
- Thursday 9 AM – 6 PM
- Saturday 9 AM – 3 PM
*The center will be closed on major holidays*
Q: Why isn’t the new center open 24/7 like the old one in Lizton and your other centers in Coatesville and North Salem?
A: Unattended recycling centers are often misused and abused. Some users don’t follow the recycling rules and leave material on the ground outside of the bins. Abuse of unattended centers drives up the cost of providing them and threatens their futures. At least one attendant will always be on duty when the Lizton Recycling Center is open to help answer questions and ensure the recycling rules are followed. You can learn more about the rules and how to separate your items here.
Q: How much will it cost people to recycle at the new recycling center?
A: It’s free for the public to use! Our organization is part of the local government for Hendricks County. Providing the recycling center for the community is part of our mission and the construction and operation of the center are covered by our budget.
Q: Can I recycle electronics there? How about appliances? Scrap metal? Clothes?
A: No, we only accept traditional recyclables – bottles, cans, jugs, tubs, jars, boxes, paper, etc. – at the recycling center. You can find out more here. While we encourage you to recycle all those other items, they will not be our focus at the new recycling center.
Q: What should I know before I go?
A: Glass containers and corrugated cardboard each have their own collection point so separating those materials before arriving at the recycling center is helpful. You should expect to have your recyclables quickly inspected by the attendant on duty to ensure the items you brought can be recycled in the program. This video FAQ is also helpful.
