​Kosciusko County Solid Waste Management District oversees 9 drop off recycling locations located throughout the county. 
These bins are for residents only - no commercial providers are to be offloading their recycling into any of these sites.

Every site is serviced Monday - Friday by GFL, with some of our more frequently visited sites receiving weekend service, too. If you ever experience an issue with a site please call us at (574) 372-3087 or email us here. Our phone system has voicemail so you can leave a message even on weekends and after hours.

Please note: ALL KCSWMD RECYCLING DROP OFF BIN LOCATIONS WILL BE CLOSING ON DECEMBER 31st, 2022.

At home, please sort your materials into a container with only clean paper products, clean metal cans, and clean plastic #s 1-3 before dropping off at our bins.
