"Do you offer pick up services?"

  • At this time, we do not. We are strictly drop off in the community bins as well as at the main facility in Warsaw. 

"Are you guys the ones who pick up recycling at my house?"

  • Not us, sorry! Depending on where you live in Kosciusko County, it could be a few different providers. Notably, Warsaw residents are serviced by Borden's Waste-Away and Winona Lake residents are serviced by Advanced Disposal. Those links take you to specific information for that municipality. 

"Do you guys do roll off dumpsters?"

"Why wasn't my trash collected?"

  • We receive many calls about trash service. Contact the public works or street works department for your town and they should be able to answer all your questions or lead you to the right provider.

"Where do I take my trash items?"

  • To dispose of trash items, fees may apply and there are two options:
    • Advanced Disposal Landfill - 2710 E 800 S, Claypool, IN ; (260) 839-0300
    • Waste Management Transfer Station - 2353 N Boeing Rd, Warsaw, IN ; (574) 269-5948

"Do you pay for recycling?"

  • We do not pay for aluminum or other scrap items. Try contacting one of these locations for help:
    • Lewis Salvage - (574) 267-6781
    • Stuckman Salvage - (260) 856-2060

"When is your next shredding day/tire collection event?"

  • At this time we do not have any events scheduled or plans to schedule an event in the near future. The best way to know what we've got going on is to follow us on Facebook at KCRecyclingDepot or sign up for our monthly newsletter.

"What are we supposed to do with our glass now?"

  • If you have curbside service, many of them are still taking glass. To be fiscally responsible under our new contract - which saw hauling costs triple from 2019's rate - we had to elect to stop taking glass in the drop off bins. The best solutions we have to offer right now for glass items are:
    • Look into reuse. The internet, specifically Pinterest, is teeming with ideas on way to reuse glass.
    • Look into changing products. Some things come in glass and nothing else, but you might consider looking at alternatives that are in plastics #1, 2, or 3 that we are still able to take.

"Do you still have your Eco Store?"

  • The Eco Store closed a couple years ago and we no longer sell merchandise here.
