Residential Recycling Update
In the summer of 2023, we began transitioning our recycling program to a bagless co-mingled single-stream program eliminating the use of blue recycling bags. The new program requires residents to opt-in to participate by taking a recycling pledge and signing up to receive one 96-gallon blue recycling toter.
There is no extra charge to participate in this new program. To opt-in to this new program, please read the agreement below and fill out the form and hit “submit”. Please make sure that you type your full address including the city, state, and zip code to properly complete the submission. The form will briefly confirm that your submission is complete after you hit “submit” and then automatically refresh the screen to a new form.
Click on the “Recycling Form” button below to take the pledge and be added to our delivery list. You can expect to receive your recycling toter in 1 to 2 weeks.
Recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources. In addition, it generates a host of environmental, financial, and social benefits. Materials like glass, metal, plastics, and paper are collected, separated, and sent to facilities that can process them into new materials or products.
The Muncie Sanitary District has offered curbside single-stream recycling for residents since 1998.
