Recycling Print E-mail

This program is on a voluntary basis through the Richmond Sanitary District. The District provides free containers called Richie Rollers to place all your recyclable items in. The Richie Rollers are either 32-gallon or 65-gallon containers. The customer may specify which Richie Roller would best fit their needs. There is no additional charge for picking up recyclable material or the use of the Richie Roller. This makes recycling as easy as throwing away garbage.

Recycling reduces the amount of waste that is buried in the landfill. This will make our publicly-owned landfill last longer and save everyone money. To learn how and when recycling begins in your area, and to reserve your Richie Roller please call 765-983-7456.
