CESQG Business Services

To use our services, a business must be a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG). We accept small quantities of the same materials from businesses that we do from residents with a nominal fee.
  • Non-profit organizations and municipalities are charged half the rate for bringing in items to recycle.

All materials are to be brought to the south door facing the railroad tracks. If you have a particularly large volume of material or require special equipment to unload, please call ahead at (574) 372-3087. This way we can be prepared and streamline the process.
  • Cash, check, and card are accepted at time of service. We can also bill for convenience.
