Check Tippecanoe County Solid Waste District for how to properly dispose of these items.
The City is now providing you with a 48-gallon recycling cart with a yellow lid. These carts are for recycling only; please do not use them for trash. If you are an avid recycler and feel that the 48-gallon cart is not large enough, you can request a 96-gallon cart instead for no additional cost. Items do not need to be separated in the recycling cart. Please do not place items in the bike lanes.
