White River Recycling

White River Recycling is a local recycling center in Indianapolis that people bring household recyclables to rather than hauling everything to a landfill. Neighbors dropping off cardboard, bottles and cans, and paper make up most of the traffic here. The site is meant to keep common recyclables out of regional landfills and often mirrors the setup found at other county collection points in Indiana.

Drive into the property on S Harding and follow the access lane toward a cluster of large receptacles and roll-off containers for things like paper, cardboard, plastics, glass and metal-these are the usual items accepted at centers like this. Look for clear signs and separate containers for each material; stations for specialty items such as electronics or bulky metal are often off to one side if the center runs those programs. There’s typically an entrance area or booth where traffic gets directed and where a scale might be located for vehicle or load checks. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines and a bit of waiting are common.
