A county recycling center in Winamac where locals drop off common recyclables and keep things out of the landfill. Neighbors, small household loads and people cleaning garages use it more than big commercial haulers. It’s the kind of place used for cardboard, paper, bottles, cans and other typical curbside-type recyclables, with occasional special collection programs for things like electronics or tires that some centers offer.
Drive in off County Road W 60 S and look for a small entrance area with places to pull up and unload; many of these centers have a booth or attendant station and clearly marked bins or containers. Expect separate containers for cardboard, mixed paper, glass and various plastics, and usually piles or bays for scrap metal. Weekend mornings and spring-cleanup times tend to be busiest, so lines can form; slow-moving trucks and trailers are common. Bring items sorted by material if possible, and plan to pull up, unload, then move on so the next vehicle can use the space.
