Thinking of dumping at these facilities?

Try this instead!

 Recycle – Many items thrown into the trash could be recycled instead. It’s easy to do and protects our environment. See what everyday items can be recycled here.

 

Dispose of it Another Way! - There are some items that should never be thrown into household trash. They are hazardous and can negatively affect the local ecosystems. This includes you and the rest of our Gary residents. Please consult this Solid Waste Disposal Fact Sheet for information on how to properly dispose of any hazardous waste in your household.
