COLUMBUS, Ind. – The Bartholomew County Solid Waste Management District (BCSWMD) has confirmed that its recycling process is being altered. Due to vendor service changes, paper recycling will be updated at the Petersville (11110 25th St.) and the Harrison (10293 Old Nashville Rd.) convenience stations, as well as the Bartholomew County Landfill (811 E. County Road 450S).
Soon paper will no longer be collected in the paper-only bins, but will be combined with plastics, metals, and glass in commingled bins. Only cardboard will be separated from the commingled bins at all three locations.
At the landfill, BCSWMD says paper will be collected in the yellow recycle compactor along with plastics, metals, and glass. At the Harrison and Petersville Convenience Stations, paper will be collected in the red bins along with plastic, metal, and glass.
Paper, separated individually, will be accepted at the Columbus/Bartholomew County Recycling Center, 720 South Mapleton St.
