The Recycling & Waste Reduction District of Porter County is the local government authority for information about recycling, yard waste and household hazardous waste services that serves the residents and businesses of Porter County. We are one of 70 solid waste management districts created by the State of Indiana in 1990 with the adoption of House Enrolled Act 1240.
Each solid waste management district is funded differently and provides slightly different services to serve the distinct needs of its population. The Recycling & Waste Reduction District of Porter County is an agency dedicated to improving the environment and quality of life by providing services and educational programs which help residents reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Services
We offer dozens of battery bucket locations throughout Porter County where you can bring your household batteries for recycling. The Recycling & Waste Reduction District sponsors a number of household hazardous waste collection events each year. Special events create a lot of waste, but you can make a difference in the environment by providing recycling opportunities.
All cities and towns in Porter County, excluding Dune Acres, provide curbside collection for their residents. However, apartments, condos and most other multifamily dwellings in Porter County must contract with a waste hauler for services. The residents of unincorporated Porter County as well as Dune Acres must individually contract with private waste haulers for curbside service.
